The High Court of Cassation and Justice rejected the respondent’s procedural exception of non-stamping but also dismissed the applicant’s request to transfer Case No. 13181/211/2013 from the Cluj Tribunal, with no further appeal available; the request for transfer based on legitimate suspicion was denied on the merits, while the filing fee was deemed validly paid. The dispute arose from an application for case transfer under grounds of legitimate suspicion, where the respondent challenged the sufficiency of a photocopied receipt as proof of fee payment. The court ruled that the judicial stamp duty had been anticipatorily paid in accordance with Article 33 of Government Emergency Ordinance No. 80/2013, and that attaching a photocopy of the receipt did not trigger the sanction of dismissal as unstamped, since the fee had in fact been paid; the transfer request itself was nonetheless rejected.

Prin cererea formulată la data de 5 mai 2014 petenta K.A. a solicitat strămutarea Dosarului nr. 13181/211/2013 al Tribunalului Cluj, pentru motive de bănuială legitimă.

În dovedirea cererii, petenta a anexat un set de înscrisuri, precum și dovada achitării taxei judiciare de timbru, în fotocopie.

Prin citația emisă la data de 13 mai 2014 petentei i s-a pus în vedere să depună dovada achitării timbrului judiciar de 0,3 RON, pe care aceasta l-a depus la dosar la data de 22 mai 2014.

Prin întâmpinarea formulată, intimatul Cabinet de avocat R.C.S. a invocat excepția netimbrării cererii, față de împrejurarea că dovada achitării taxei judiciare de timbru este o fotocopie simplă, necertificată pentru conformitate, a chitanței de plată.

Analizând excepția invocată, Înalta Curte constată că cererea de strămutare este legal timbrată, având în vedere că petenta a plătit taxa judiciară de timbru anticipat, așa cum prevede art. 33 din O.U.G. nr. 80/2013.

Împrejurarea că dovada achitării acestei taxe, respectiv chitanța din data de 5 mai 2014, a fost atașată la dosar în fotocopie nu este de natură să atragă sancțiunea anulării cererii, ca netimbrată, instanța apreciind că petenta a plătit taxa judiciară de timbru anticipat în cauză.
