Art. 121 Action brought in improper venue; transfer

If you file a lawsuit in the wrong court, meaning a court that doesn't have the legal right to handle your type of case in that location, the judge has two options. The judge can either dismiss the case completely, or move it to the correct court if that's the fairer choice.

Courts usually prefer to transfer cases rather than throw them out. This gives people a fair chance to have their case heard, even if they made a mistake about which court to file in. The judge will decide what's fair based on the situation, like whether dismissing the case would cause unnecessary problems or delays for the people involved.

In short, filing in the wrong court doesn't automatically mean you lose your case. The court can fix the problem by sending your case to the right place instead of ending it altogether.
