Transfer of jurisdiction denied based on pre-existing hearing schedule at competent court

The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed the plaintiff's request for a transfer of jurisdiction, thereby leaving the case with the Tribunal of Bucharest where it remains pending for its scheduled hearing. The dispute concerned a procedural motion to move Case No. 12428/301/2012 from the Tribunal of Bucharest to another court; the Ministry of Public represented by the prosecutor argued for the rejection of the request, noting that the case already had a fixed trial date of June 5, 2013, in the original forum. The Court’s decision was final and without the possibility of appeal, relying on the procedural irregularity or lack of justification for transfer given the established scheduling of the proceedings in the competent instance.
