Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Thomas G. Pelham, of Brown & Smith, Tallahassee, for appellant.

Wilfred C. Varn, and Charles A. Francis, of Ervin, Varn, Jacobs & Odom, Tallahassee, for appellees.


BOYER, Judge.

We have for resolution a problem involving venue. The many reported cases on the subject reveal that venue has been a vexatious source of controversy for many years. We have no thought that we might, by this opinion, resolve all venue issues for posterity. However, we do hope that we might forever lay to rest some of the issues relating to permissible venue for cases in which the State, its agencies, boards and other related entities are involved.
