Civil jurisdiction transfer (strămutare) denied where case records confirmed first-instance status despite claimed appellate filing

The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed the petition for the transfer of jurisdiction (strămutare) submitted by the applicants, upholding the prosecutor’s recommendation and leaving the case with its original competent court; the decision is final without appeal. The dispute concerned a procedural request to transfer a civil case pending at the Oradea Court of Appeal, triggered by the applicants' assertion that the case had been lodged at the appellate level, whereas court records indicated it remained at the Bihor County Court of First Instance. The decisive legal basis was the determination that the procedural conditions for a jurisdictional transfer were not met due to the discrepancy between the petition’s premise and the actual stage of the proceedings, rendering the request inadmissible.
