Case transfer denied; applicants' motion rejected for failing statutory transfer conditions.

The High Court of Cassation and Justice (Section I Civil) rejected the applicants' motion to transfer (strămutare) the case in File No. 2854/111/2007* pending before the Bihor Tribunal, with the decision being final and without appeal. The applicants, two companies (one acting through its judicial administrator), had sought the transfer of the civil case from the Bihor Tribunal on grounds presumably related to impartiality or fair trial concerns, and the prosecutor had opposed the request. The Court dismissed the request on the merits, applying the procedural rules governing case transfer (strămutare) under Romanian civil procedure, determining that the statutory conditions for granting the transfer were not met.
