Description

1 In this appeal we decide where venue lies in an action involving multiple defendants, all of which are foreign corporations. See NMSA 1978, 38-3-1 (1988). The district court ruled that venue was proper in any county as to nine of the foreign corporations because these defendants did not maintain a statutory agent in the state. The court then concluded that venue was also proper in any county against Defendant British Petroleum (BP), although BP maintains a statutory agent with a residence in Lea County, New Mexico. On certiorari, BP contends that the district court wrongfully denied its motion to dismiss for improper venue. Applying our venue statute, we reverse the district court. We also take this opportunity to reverse in part a prior decision of the Court of Appeals, Toscano v. Lovato, 2002-NMCA-022, 131 N.M. 598, 40 P.3d 1042.
