Mootness of a jurisdiction transfer petition following the final resolution of the underlying civil case

The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed the petition filed by the applicants regarding the transfer of jurisdiction for a pending civil matter, ruling that the request was moot because the underlying case had already been resolved on February 14, 2013, according to the court’s electronic records. The dispute involved a procedural motion to transfer a specific civil case from the Timișoara Court of Appeals to another jurisdiction, which was rejected on the basis that the original proceeding had concluded, rendering the transfer request legally without object. The decision was rendered final with no avenue for appeal, relying on the procedural doctrine that a motion for transfer of venue is inoperative if the underlying case has already been adjudicated and closed.
