Rejection of petition for judicial venue transfer (strămutare) due to lack of legal basis

The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed the petition filed by the applicant seeking the transfer (relocation) of Case No. 23304/325/2013 from the Timisoara Court of Appeal to a different jurisdiction, thereby upholding the status quo and leaving the original court competent to hear the matter. The dispute concerned a procedural motion to change venue, which was rejected because the opposing party (representing the Public Ministry) requested dismissal and the underlying motion to suspend the case proceedings had previously been denied. The court found that the legal requirements for a change of venue were not met, resulting in a final, unappealable order keeping the litigation within the Timisoara Court of Appeal despite the applicant's challenge to the local forum.
