Mootness of venue transfer request due to prior final adjudication

The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed the petition for venue transfer (strămutare) filed by the plaintiff, meaning the original jurisdiction remained intact, as the request was deemed moot. The dispute concerned a civil case pending before the Dolj Court of Appeal, where the plaintiff sought to have the proceedings transferred to another court, but the matter was moot because the underlying case had already been adjudicated and a final judgment was issued by the competent court on May 14, 2013, two days prior to the hearing. The decisive legal basis for the dismissal was the procedural doctrine that a request for venue transfer must have a pending subject matter to be admissible; since the judicial proceedings in the specific docket were concluded, the court lacked the object of the request, resulting in the refusal of the petition without further substantive review.
