Strain transfer of civil case to another court denied due to scheduled hearing and lawful citation procedure

The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed the petition filed by the appellant, thereby denying the requested transfer of the case to another court and leaving the matter pending before the Craiova Court of Appeal. The dispute concerned a procedural motion to remove a civil case from its assigned jurisdiction, where the Public Ministry’s representative opposed the request. The court rejected the application on the basis that the citation procedure had been lawfully fulfilled and, critically, that the subject case already had a scheduled hearing date in March 2012, rendering the transfer inappropriate at that stage; the decision is final and not subject to appeal.
