Beasley, Judge,
concurring and concurring specially.
I concur fully in the opinion but do not wish to give the impression that I agree wholly with the opinion of Ellington and Gary in their law review article, with respect to the interpretation or proposed application of the Uniform Transfer Rules. The Constitution of Georgia plainly and broadly states that any civil case shall be transferred to the appropriate court when it is determined that jurisdiction or venue lies elsewhere. Const, of Ga., Art. VI, Sec. I, Par. VIII. It appears that the purpose is to avoid dismissal and refiling, delay and costs. Why would this not apply to counterclaims as well?
