§ 12-2. Transfer of Action Filed in Wrong Location of Correct Court

A clerk of the court of a judicial district or geographical area should not accept a civil cause which is made returnable to a judicial district or geographical area of which such person is not the clerk. A clerk who does accept and enter such a civil cause shall, upon discovery of the error, bring the matter to the attention of the court. The judicial authority shall then order the plaintiff to file a motion to transfer with such notice to the defendant as the judicial authority may direct. If the plaintiff complies, the motion to transfer shall be granted; but if the plaintiff fails to comply with the order of the judicial authority within a reasonable time, the judicial authority shall dismiss the action with costs.
