venue

venue
The county or district wherein a cause is to be tried. 56 Am J1st Ven § 2. The county or district in which an indictment is returned. 27 Am J1st Indict § 12. In the original meaning, the county district, or neighborhood from which the jury was to come. Eck v State Tax Com. 204 Md 245, 103 A2d 850, 48 ALR2d 415. Not to be confused with "jurisdiction," since jurisdiction may not be conferred by consent or waiver, whereas the venue of an action as fixed by statute may be changed by the consent of the parties and an objection that the plaintiff brought his suit in the wrong county may be waived by failure to make a timely objection, thereby Permitting the court to proceed and render a valid judgment. Hardenburgh v Hardenburgh, 115 Mont 469, 146 P2d 151.
