Mootness of change-of-venue motion following final resolution of underlying appellate case

The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed the motion for a change of venue filed by a railway workers' union regarding Case No. 6581/100/2012, ruling that the request was inadmissible because the underlying dispute before the Cluj Court of Appeal had already been resolved on September 30, 2013, as evidenced by the court's informatized registry. The procedural dispute concerned a "strămutare" (change of venue) application, which the court rejected on the basis that a prerequisite for such a transfer is the existence of a pending case, and since the original case had been concluded with a judgment prior to the hearing, the subject matter for the venue transfer ceased to exist. Consequently, no change of jurisdiction was ordered, and the decision is final without recourse.
