Petition for transfer of civil case denied due to scheduled hearing date

The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed the petition filed by the applicant, thereby upholding the status quo and denying the requested transfer of the case; the decision is final and not subject to appeal. The dispute concerned a procedural request for the removal of a civil case from its original competent court, Tribunal Constanta, which was evaluated by the Supreme Court in a chamber council session. The court’s decisive legal basis relied on the finding that the service of process was legally fulfilled and, crucially, that the disputed case had a scheduled hearing date for March 20, 2012, which necessitated the rejection of the transfer request in accordance with the Ministry Public’s conclusions.
