Supreme Court of Pennsylvania.

Filed February 4, 1988.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

John Baldante, Philadelphia, for appellants.

Susan E. Satkowski, Philadelphia, for Arneytown, appellees.

Before CIRILLO, President Judge, and WIEAND and OLSZEWSKI, JJ.


WIEAND, Judge:

The principal issue in this appeal is whether improper venue can be waived by one defendant in such a manner as to preclude a second defendant from interposing a successful objection to such venue. The trial court rejected such an argument, sustained preliminary objections to venue by one defendant, and transferred the action to the county in which the cause of action had arisen. We affirm.
