Transfer of civil case venue based on procedural suspension

The High Court of Cassation and Justice granted the request, ordering the transfer of the case from the Alba Iulia Court of Appeal to the Cluj Court of Appeal, while ruling that procedural acts performed by the original court prior to the transfer remained valid. The dispute concerned a request to transfer jurisdiction (strămutare) for a civil case, motivated by the assistant magistrate's observation that the file was suspended under Article 40 of the Code of Civil Procedure due to an absence of procedural activity or similar grounds requiring a change of venue. The decision was based on the finding that the summons procedure was legally fulfilled and the Public Ministry’s representative supported the admission of the request, resulting in a final, non-appealable decision on the administrative procedural matter of case allocation.
