Transfer of venue denied; case remains before Timiș Tribunal.

The High Court of Cassation and Justice (First Civil Section) rejected the applicant's request to transfer the case (file no. x/325/2013) pending before the Timiș Tribunal to another court, with no appeal available against this ruling; the transfer was denied. The applicant had sought the change of venue for the pending civil case, which was scheduled for a hearing on 28 April 2017, and the parties did not appear at the hearing on the transfer request. The court dismissed the application on the merits, applying the statutory conditions governing the discretionary transfer of cases under Romanian civil procedure, without specifying the grounds in the operative part; the decision is final and leaves the case before the original tribunal.
