Civil case transfer (strămutare) of jurisdiction between appellate courts

The High Court of Cassation and Justice granted the petitioner's application and ordered the transfer of case no. 3432/104/2011 from the Craiova Court of Appeal to the Pitești Court of Appeal, designating the latter as the new competent jurisdiction; the procedural acts previously executed were retained, and the decision was final with no avenue for appeal. The dispute concerned a procedural request for the transfer of venue (strămutare), noting that the target court had a scheduled hearing date in June 2012. The court's ruling was based on the verification of legal procedural requirements for changing the court's competence, resulting in the immediate administrative reassignment of the pending civil matter to a different appellate court.
