Jurisdictional transfer request rejected due to valid service and scheduled hearing date

The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed the request for a change of venue (strămutare) regarding civil case no. 4263/317/2011, which remained pending before the Craiova Court of Appeal with a hearing scheduled for March 13, 2014, thereby upholding the jurisdiction of the original court and leaving no further appeal available. The dispute concerned a procedural motion to transfer jurisdiction, in which the petitioners argued for a move away from the Craiova Court of Appeal, while the respondent filed a timely answer that was properly served; the Prosecutor General argued for dismissal of the request. The court rejected the application based on procedural compliance and the absence of legal grounds to disrupt the administrative distribution of cases, noting that the service of the answer was correctly recorded in the court's information system and that the public prosecutor successfully opposed the transfer.
