Denial of inter-jurisdictional case transfer based on existing hearing schedule

The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed the petition for the transfer of jurisdiction filed by the applicant, thereby upholding the competence of the Timișoara Court of Appeal to continue hearing the case, with the decision being final and unappealable. The dispute concerned a procedural request for the *strămutare* (transfer) of a specific civil case originally pending at the Timișoara Court of Appeal, which the applicant argued should be moved to a different court, while the Public Prosecutor opposed the transfer. The court rejected the motion based on the procedural requirement that the competent court must be free to hear the case at the requested time; the decisive legal basis was the schedule of the judicial records, which indicated that the target case had already been scheduled for a hearing on May 15, 2012, thus failing to meet the statutory conditions for a valid transfer request.
