Honda Manufacturing and Development of Alabama, LLC, appealed for the transfer of a workers' compensation case, filed by Dennis Allison, to Talladega County, maintaining that Etowah County was an improper venue, citing the location of the injury and Honda’s principal business operations in Talladega County. Dennis argued for Etowah County, stating Honda had tangible connections like leased warehouse space and local suppliers in the county. The Court ultimately ruled in favor of Honda, concluding that Honda’s activities in Etowah County were merely incidental to its core business functions, not representing doing business by an agent there, instructing the transfer of the case to Talladega Circuit Court.
