Q
When is a transfer proper?
A
A district court may transfer a case to any court where the case may have been brought or where the parties consented. However, this only applies where the initial venue is proper. Where the initial venue is improper the court must dismiss the case or transfer it to where it could have been brought if the transfer is in the interest of justice.
