Transfer of civil jurisdiction from one court to another to avoid bias

The Supreme Court of Romania, Civil Section I, admitted the motion to transfer the venue, ordering that the civil case originally filed with the Constanța Tribunal be transferred to the Ialomița Tribunal, while preserving all procedural acts previously performed; this decision is final and not subject to appeal. The dispute involved a procedural request to relocate a civil trial currently pending before the Constanța Tribunal, where the next hearing was scheduled for April 2, 2013, based on the court's computerized record system. The court’s decision rested on the procedural grounds for transferring jurisdiction, as supported by the legal opinion of the public prosecutor and the legal counsel, who both requested the admission of the transfer application.
