Refusal of transfer of a civil case to a different court of appeal

The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed the petition for the transfer of the underlying case from the Bacău Court of Appeal, leaving the original jurisdiction intact and rendering a final, non-appealable decision. The dispute involved a procedural motion filed by the plaintiff to relocate Case No. 230/32/2013, a civil matter before the Bacău Court of Appeal, First Civil Section. The court analyzed the request following the Public Prosecutor’s conclusion recommending dismissal, noting that the case had a scheduled hearing date of June 5, 2013, and that the opposing parties had requested to be judged in absentia. The decisive legal basis was the procedural framework governing the transfer of cases, under which the court found no grounds to displace the existing competent jurisdiction, resulting in the rejection of the administrative request.
