Va. Sup. Ct. R. 7B:11
Motions to Transfer
(a) When a written motion to transfer objecting to venue is filed by any party, the
party objecting must mail a copy of such motion to all counsel of record. Failure to
comply with this requirement is not a ground for denying the motion, but the court may
grant a deferral of any hearing on the motion to transfer if it finds that the interest of
justice would be served by such deferral.
(b) If any party who has filed a motion to transfer objecting to venue is not
present when the court rules on such motion:
(1) If the motion is granted, the Clerk must transmit the files in accordance
with such order and must send a copy of the letter of transmittal or order of
transfer to all parties along with information as to any costs awarded under
§ 8.01-266; or
(2) If the motion is denied, the court must set a date for the trial of the case
and the Clerk must notify the absent objecting party by first class mail of such
date and of any costs awarded any other party under § 8.01-266.
