Motion for transfer of jurisdiction denied for lack of legitimate suspicion of bias under Art. 140 CPC

The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed as unfounded the motion filed by a joint-stock company for the transfer of jurisdiction (recusal of the court) regarding an administrative and fiscal case pending before the Bucharest Court of Appeal, Section for Administrative and Fiscal Cases. The dispute concerned a procedural request to change the competent court due to alleged impropriety, without challenging the substantive merits of the underlying litigation. Relying on Article 140 of the Code of Civil Procedure, the Court determined that no legitimate suspicion of bias or partiality existed to justify the transfer, thereby affirming the jurisdiction of the original appellate court and rendering the decision final.
