The ruling on the motion is final and is not subject to review or appeal, except that the presiding judge or the presiding judge’s designee may, for good cause shown, remove a case from Commercial Court. (2) Cases Filed in Other Judicial Districts A party to a case filed in another judicial district who seeks assignment to the Commercial Court shall first confer with the other parties and the Lane County presiding judge or designee to determine whether the case is appropriate for assignment to the Commercial Court. That party shall then apply for change of venue pursuant to ORS 14.110(1)(c). The Lane County presiding judge shall consult with the presiding judge of the originating district prior to a ruling on the motion for change of venue. After the change of venue has been completed, that party shall move to have the case assigned to the Commercial Court pursuant to section (1) of this rule. Chapter 8 - Domestic Relations Proceedings
