Transfer of jurisdiction (strămutare) for pending civil trial

The High Court of Cassation and Justice rejected the request for the transfer of jurisdiction (strămutare) filed by the petitioner, thereby upholding the jurisdiction of the original tribunal and leaving the case to proceed in its current forum without further appeal. The dispute concerned a civil matter pending before the Constanța Court of Appeals, where the petitioner sought to have the proceedings transferred to a different court, while the Public Ministry’s representative argued for the rejection of the motion as unfounded. The court’s decision was based on a procedural analysis of the transfer request, determining that the legal grounds for changing the venue were not met, and the dismissal is final.
