Legislator summary

The High Court of Cassation and Justice (Section I Civil) declined its own jurisdiction and transferred the case to the Constanța Court of Appeal, which thus prevails on the procedural point; no other relief was granted, and the transfer is final with no appeal. The dispute arose from a request by a company to have case file no. 31601/212/2013 of the Constanța District Court transferred to another court of equal rank on grounds of legitimate suspicion, filed after the entry into force of the new Civil Procedure Code. The court applied Article 142(1) of the new Civil Procedure Code, which grants jurisdiction over transfer requests based on legitimate suspicion to the court of appeal within whose circuit the lower court sits; because the underlying case was registered with the Constanța District Court after the new code took effect, and that court lies within the Constanța Court of Appeal's territorial jurisdiction, the High Court held it lacked material competence and referred the matter accordingly under Article 131 and Article 142 of the code.

Asupra cauzei de faţă, constată următoarele:

Prin cererea înregistrată pe rolul Înaltei Curţi de Casaţie şi Justiţie, secţia I civilă, la data de 12 august 2014, petenta a solicitat strămutarea Dosarului nr. 31601/212/2013 al Judecătoriei Constanţa, la o altă instanţă egală în grad pentru motive de bănuială legitimă.

Conform verificărilor efectuate în sistemul informatic E., dosarul ce face obiectul cererii de strămutare a fost înregistrat pe rolul Judecătoriei Constanţa la data de 25 noiembrie 2013, ulterior intrării în vigoare a noului C. proc. civ.

Potrivit art. 142 alin. (1) C. proc. civ., "cererea de strămutare întemeiată pe motive de bănuială legitimă este de competenţa curţii de apel, dacă instanţa de la care se cere strămutarea este o judecătorie sau un tribunal din circumscripţia acesteia (...)".

Or, în cauză, cererea de strămutare dedusă judecăţii este formulată cu privire la un dosar înregistrat ulterior intrării în vigoare a noului C. proc. civ., pe rolul Judecătoriei Constanţa, instanţă aflată în circumscripţia teritorială a Curţii de Apel Constanţa.

Pentru aceste considerente, în aplicarea dispoziţiilor art. 131 raportat la art. 142 din noul C. proc. civ., instanţa competentă material să soluţioneze cauza este Curtea de Apel Constanţa, instanţă în favoarea căreia va opera prezenta declinare de competenţă.
