Civil procedure: denial of venue transfer under Article 144(2) of the Code of Civil Procedure

The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed the petition for venue transfer (strămutare) filed by the claimant, thereby leaving the case within the jurisdiction of the Court of Appeal of Constanta. The dispute concerned a procedural motion to remove the case from its originally assigned jurisdiction, with the underlying subject matter involving a civil matter from 2020. The court’s decision relied exclusively on Article 144(2) of the Code of Civil Procedure, which stipulates that decisions on venue transfer are issued without reasoning.
