Change-of-venue motion rejected as unfounded in pending Iași case.

The High Court of Cassation and Justice (Civil Section I) denied the petitioner’s request to transfer (strămutare) the case pending in Dosar nr. 22961/245/2012 before the Iași District Court; the ruling is final and without appeal. The dispute concerned a motion for change of venue based on alleged bias, with the Public Ministry opposing the request. The court, after examining the request and noting the pending trial date, rejected it as unfounded, applying the procedural rules governing case transfer (strămutare) under Romanian civil procedure, which require a showing of suspicion of partiality or other statutory grounds.
