Compulsory Counterclaim, Cross-Claim, or Third-Party Claim Outside Court’s Subject Matter Jurisdiction
(a) When a compulsory counterclaim, cross-claim, or third-party claim
requesting relief outside the subject matter jurisdiction of the circuit court is
filed in a case properly before the circuit court, the party filing such compulsory
counterclaim, cross-claim, or third-party claim shall also file with the circuit
court a motion for transfer of the case, as a whole, to the court which would
have jurisdiction if the relief requested were to be granted. The circuit court
shall order the case transferred to the district court if the proponent of the
motion makes a prima facie showing that the claim for relief is outside the
jurisdiction of the circuit court and that it is not specious.
(b) The party who files the motion for transfer of the case shall deposit the
district court docket fee with the motion in the circuit court, and if the case is
ordered to be transferred to the district court the deposited filing fee shall also
be sent with the transferred file to the clerk of the district court. If the motion
for transfer of the case is denied, the district court docket fee shall be returned
to the moving party.
