A motion to transfer does not require a refiling of the complaint, or new service. It would be wise to file an updated Case Management Statement, once a new CMC hearing date and time is set. Your time limits would not have changed, with respect to a revised CMC statement.

I answered this question earlier. What was the point of asking it again?

No, you don't re-file or re-serve. The file is transferred to the new venue.
