Legislator summary

AI generated

The High Court of Cassation and Justice declined jurisdiction, ordering the case to be transferred to the Brașov Court of Appeal for a final determination; this procedural decision is final and not subject to appeal. The dispute involved a petition by an individual to transfer a civil case pending before the Brașov Tribunal to a different court on grounds of legitimate suspicion (bias), accompanied by an incidental request for legal aid. The decisive legal basis was Article 142(1) of the Code of Civil Procedure, which mandates that applications for case transfer based on legitimate suspicion are within the material competence of the appellate court when the originating instance is a county court or tribunal within its jurisdiction, rendering the High Court incompetent to rule on the merits.

Asupra cauzei de faţă, constată următoarele:

Prin cererea înregistrată pe rolul Înaltei Curţi de Casaţie şi Justiţie, secţia I civilă la data de 23 martie 2018, petentul A. a solicitat strămutarea dosarului nr. x/2016 al Tribunalului Braşov, secţia I civilă, pentru motive de bănuială legitimă.

Potrivit dispoziţiilor 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.

Pentru aceste considerente, în aplicarea dispoziţiilor art. 132 C. proc. civ., raportat la prevederile art. 142 alin. (1) C. proc. civ., Înalta Curte constată că instanţa competentă material a soluţiona cererea de strămutare este Curtea de Apel Braşov, instanţă în favoarea căreia urmează a declina competenţa de soluţionare a cererii de strămutare şi a cererii incidentale de ajutor public judiciar.
