Request for transfer of civil proceedings: jurisdictional competence and absence of founded grounds for relocation

The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed the request for transfer of jurisdiction, upholding the public prosecutor’s conclusion that the motion was unfounded, resulting in the continued jurisdiction of the Negrești-Oaș Court over the underlying civil proceedings. The dispute concerned a procedural application filed by a party seeking to move their civil case to a different court, citing the necessity of relocating the trial date scheduled for June 12, 2014, from its current venue. The decisive legal basis was the procedural requirement that a request for transfer of jurisdiction must be legally founded; the court found the petitioner failed to demonstrate grounds justifying the removal of the case from the currently competent court, thereby rejecting the motion as baseless and leaving the original court with authority to adjudicate the matter.
