The motion for a change of the place of trial may be made and allowed any time after the commencement of the action or suit and before the beginning of trial, except that, if the change sought is pursuant to the provisions of ORS 14.110 (When place of trial may be changed) (1)(a), the motion must be made before filing of the answer. If the motion is allowed, the change shall be made to the county where the action or suit ought to have been commenced, if it is for the cause mentioned in ORS 14.110 (When place of trial may be changed) (1)(a), and in other cases to the most convenient county where the cause assigned as the reason for the change does not exist.

Notes of Decisions

Nothing in this section suggests that motion to change venue tolls other statutory deadlines and, accordingly, 60-day deadline to file anti-SLAPP motion to strike under ORS 31.152 was not tolled while motion to change venue was pending; thus, defendants’ special motion to strike under ORS 31.150 was untimely when motion was filed more than 60 days after date of service C.I.C.S. Employment Services v. Newport Newspapers, 291 Or App 316, 420 P3d 684 (2018)
