Transfer of civil case refused as unsubstantiated; motion denied, ruling final.

The High Court of Cassation and Justice (Civil Section I) rejected as unfounded a request to transfer (strămutare) a civil case, docket no. 27667/245/2012 of the Iași District Court, which was scheduled for hearing on 19 April 2013; the prosecutor had also asked for the motion to be denied, and the court's ruling is final (no appeal). The dispute concerned the procedural remedy of case transfer under Romanian civil procedure, sought by the petitioner on unspecified grounds of impartiality or suspicion, with the court finding the application unsubstantiated. Decisive legal basis: the court applied the statutory conditions for removal/transfer of a case from one court to another, concluding that the requirements for transfer were not met; the decision, issued in a council chamber, is not subject to appeal.
