Request for judicial transfer (strămutare) of civil case due to scheduled hearing date

The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed the petition for the transfer of jurisdiction (strămutare) filed by the applicant, ordering that the case remain with the Neamț Court of Appeal; the decision is final and not subject to appeal. The dispute concerned a procedural request to move Case No. 10814/279/2010 from its original forum, which the Public Ministry opposed, noting that the file already had a hearing scheduled for May 9, 2013. The court’s ruling was based on the procedural analysis of the petition and the statutory jurisdiction of the Superior Court to adjudicate requests for the transfer of cases between courts of the same instance.
