The High Court of Cassation and Justice declined its jurisdiction and transferred the case to the Bucharest Court of Appeal, which therefore prevails on the application. The petitioner had sought the transfer (strămutare) of a case pending before the Bucharest Tribunal to another court of equal rank, citing legitimate suspicion (bănuială legitimă) under procedural law. Because the underlying case was filed after the entry into force of the new Civil Procedure Code, the court applied Article 142(1) of that code, which assigns jurisdiction over such transfer requests to the court of appeal in whose circuit the lower court sits — here, the Bucharest Court of Appeal. The decision is final and without appeal.

Asupra cauzei de faţă, constată următoarele:

Prin cererea înregistrată pe rolul Înaltei Curţi de Casaţie şi Justiţie, secţia I civilă, la data de 26 august 2019, petenta A. a solicitat strămutarea dosarului nr. x/2019 al Tribunalului Bucureşti, secţia a III-a civilă, la o altă instanţă egală în grad pentru motive de bănuială legitimă.

Conform verificărilor efectuate în sistemul informatic x, dosarul ce face obiectul cererii de strămutare a fost înregistrat pe rolul Judecătoriei Sectorului 6 Bucureşti la data de 6 mai 2019, ulterior intrării în vigoare a Noului C. proc. civ.

Potrivit art. 142 alin. (1) noul 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., aflat pe rolul Tribunalului Bucureşti, instanţă aflată în circumscripţia teritorială a Curţii de Apel Bucureşti.

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 Bucureşti, în favoarea căreia va opera prezenta declinare de competenţă.
