Request to transfer jurisdiction of land fund dispute denied due to established court competence and scheduled hearing

The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed the applicant’s request to transfer the civil proceedings to a different jurisdiction, thereby upholding the original court’s competence. The dispute involved a petition filed by an individual to relocate a case from the Prahova County Court of Appeals, which had been pending since September 2012 following the defendant authority’s filing of a response. The Court determined that the statutory requirements for judicial transfer were not met, noting that the scheduled hearing date and the procedural status of the file did not justify a change of forum, while the public prosecutor also recommended rejection. Consequently, the case remains with the Prahova County Court of Appeals, and the decision is final with no avenue for appeal.
