Motion to transfer civil case venue denied due to scheduled hearing date

The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed the applicant’s motion for the transfer of the trial venue to another jurisdiction, upholding the decision to keep the proceedings at the Timiș Court of Appeal. The dispute concerned a procedural request to relocate a civil case, identified by the reference file number associated with the Timiș Court, which the opposing party opposed on the grounds that the case already had a scheduled hearing date. The court’s decisive legal basis was the procedural requirement that a transfer of venue (strămutare) is inadmissible or unwarranted when the matter is already docketed for a specific upcoming date, rendering the motion moot or procedurally premature, resulting in a final, non-appealable order.
