Petition for transfer of jurisdiction from Gorj County Court of Appeal rejected

The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed the petition for the transfer of jurisdiction (strămutare) filed by a private party, thereby upholding the competence of the Gorj County Court of Appeal to continue hearing the underlying civil dispute. The case involved a procedural motion to relocate Case No. 17342/318/2012 from the Gorj instance to another court, which was opposed by the Public Prosecutor who requested its rejection based on the legal fulfillment of service procedures and the scheduled trial date. Relying on the principle that the requesting party failed to substantiate valid grounds for removing the case from the competent court despite the existence of a fixed judicial calendar, the Supreme Court issued a final, non-appealable decision rejecting the request and maintaining the original forum.
