Denial of civil case transfer between Romanian courts based on scheduled hearing date and procedural convenience

The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed the petition for transfer of jurisdiction, thereby upholding the status quo and maintaining the case before the original court, with no appeal possible. The dispute involved a civil case initiated by a university applicant, who sought to move the proceedings from the tribunal of the defendant’s location to a different jurisdiction; the public prosecutor opposed the transfer, and the court noted that the case had a scheduled hearing date. The decision was based on the discretionary assessment of the transfer request under Romanian procedural law, where the lack of sufficient grounds to justify relocating the trial despite the pending schedule led to the rejection of the applicant’s motion.
