Cal. Civ. Code § 89-7-113
Papers transferred, if returned to wrong court.
Operative Text
If the papers, in case of a replevin of property, be returned to the wrong court, they shall be transferred to the proper court, and the case be there proceeded with as if they had been returned to that court in the first instance. History Codes, 1880, § 1319; 1892, § 2534; 1906, § 2872; Hemingway’s 1917, § 2370; 1930, § 2217; 1942, § 939.
Mississippi Code § 89-7-113 addresses a procedural scenario in property replevin cases where court papers are mistakenly filed with the wrong court. Under this provision, such a misfiling does not end the case; instead, the papers are transferred to the correct court, and the proceedings continue as though they had been properly filed there from the beginning. This rule prevents a technical filing error from derailing an otherwise valid replevin action.
Plain English — not legal advice.
For property owners or managers involved in a replevin action under Miss. Code Ann. § 89-7-113, it is worth knowing that a case filed in the wrong court is not automatically lost or dismissed due to that error. Compliant operators generally keep records of all court filings and monitor any transfer notices to ensure they respond appropriately in the correct venue. Staying informed about which court ultimately receives the transferred papers helps ensure that deadlines and appearances in the replevin proceeding are not missed.

If you are a tenant involved in a replevin dispute in Mississippi, § 89-7-113 provides that a case filed in the wrong court will be redirected to the proper court rather than dismissed outright. This means that proceedings can continue against you—or on your behalf—even after a court transfer, so it is important to stay attentive to any notices indicating a change of venue. Tenant-rights organizations or legal aid services can help clarify what a transfer means for your participation in the case.
