Transfer of Jurisdiction Request Dismissed Due to Prior Final Adjudication of the Civil Case

The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed the request for the transfer of jurisdiction (strămutare) filed by the applicants, meaning the civil case remained under the competence of the Tribunal of Bihor. The dispute concerned a procedural application to move a civil case from the Bihor Court of Appeal to another competent court; however, the court noted that the underlying case had already been resolved by a final judgment issued on April 24, 2014, rendering the transfer request moot. The decisive legal basis for the dismissal was the procedural requirement that a transfer of jurisdiction request is inadmissible when the matter has already been adjudicated and the judgment issued, a finding supported by the Prosecutor's conclusions and the verified status of the case in the automated court registry.
