Statute 61-3406: Multiple parties.
If
there are several plaintiffs properly joined and
venue is determined by
the residence of one of them, it shall be necessary that such plaintiff's claim
is a substantial
part of the action. If there are several defendants properly joined, venue of
the action may be
determined at the election of the plaintiff as to any one of the defendants
against whom a
substantial claim exists. If, before trial of an action on the merits is
commenced, a party with
reference to whom venue was determined ceases to be a party and venue would no
longer be
proper as to the remaining parties, on the application of any remaining party
promptly made,
the cause shall be transferred to a court of a county of proper jurisdiction
and venue. If there
is more than one such county, the transfer shall be to a county selected by the
plaintiff.
