Practice point: The venue of an action is proper in the county in which any of the parties resided at the time of commencement. The sole residence of a domestic corporation for venue purposes is the county designated in its certificate of incorporation, despite its maintenance of an office or facility in another county.
Student note: To prevail on a motion pursuant to CPLR 510(1) to change venue, a
defendant must show that the plaintiff's choice of venue is improper,
and also that the defendant's choice of venue is proper.
