Refusal of request to transfer civil case jurisdiction due to pending scheduled hearing

The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed without appeal the request by two petitioners for the transfer of jurisdiction for a civil case pending before the Lipova Court, meaning the competent court remained unchanged and the proceedings were to continue as scheduled. The dispute involved a procedural motion to transfer the case, justified by the petitioners but opposed by the respondent company, which had submitted written observations, and the Public Prosecutor who argued for dismissal; the hearing was set for shortly after the decision date. The court relied on its procedural authority to evaluate the motion for change of venue, finding insufficient grounds to relocate the case, thereby upholding the original forum’s jurisdiction.
