Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
When the place of trial is changed all process, pleadings and
other papers, and copies of all entries and minutes of the clerk in
such action shall be certified and transmitted by such clerk to the
clerk of the court to which the trial is changed, with a statement
of fees. Such fees shall be paid before transmission by the party
procuring such change, except in the case mentioned in s. 801.51,
in which case the plaintiff shall pay such fees and the change shall
be complete on the making of the order. The change, in other
cases, shall be complete on filing the papers transmitted. If such
transmission and filing be not made within 20 days from the making of the order to change the place of trial, unless such time be
extended, the moving party shall lose the right to the change except in the case mentioned in s. 801.51, and no order for a change
for the same cause shall thereafter be made and the moving party
shall pay the costs of the application within 10 days after the expiration of said 20 days; but the other party may, within 40 days
from the time of making of the order granting the change, pay the
clerk fees and have the papers certified and transmitted to the
court mentioned in such order.
