Inadmissibility of civil jurisdiction transfer request due to failure to pay judicial fees and stamp duty

The High Court of Cassation and Justice annulled the applicant's request for the transfer of jurisdiction (strămutare) of a civil case from the Suceava Tribunal, ruling in favor of the Public Ministry's conclusion that the petition was inadmissible for lack of payment. The dispute concerned a procedural motion to relocate a civil trial, where the applicant failed to satisfy the statutory obligation to pay the 4 RON judicial fee and the 0.3 RON stamp duty, despite being cited with a stamping mention; although the underlying civil case had previously been solved, the appellate court focused on the current procedural defect. The decision rests on the procedural doctrine that failure to fulfill the legal obligation to pay judicial taxes renders a filing void, resulting in the annulment of the request without recourse to further appeal.
