Failure of venue transfer petition due to prior final resolution of the underlying case

The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed the petition filed by a private party to transfer the venue of a pending civil case originally assigned to the Iași Court of Appeal, ruling that no appeal lies against this decision. The dispute centered on a procedural motion for a change of venue (strămutare a pricinii), which the court rejected on the decisive ground that the underlying case file had already been definitively resolved by the Court of Appeal on March 9, 2012, rendering the subject matter of the transfer application moot. The ruling effectively confirmed that a request for venue change cannot proceed once the competent court has issued a final judgment on the merits of the dispute, as the procedural mechanism for transferring jurisdiction presupposes a pending litigation that has not yet been conclusively settled.
