Transfer of venue denied; statutory impartiality grounds unproven.

The High Court of Cassation and Justice rejected the motion to transfer the case (strămutare) filed by the petitioner, thereby denying the request to move Civil File No. 268/35/2013 from the Oradea Court of Appeal, Section I civil, to another court; the ruling is final and without appeal. The dispute concerned a procedural motion under Romanian civil procedure to change venue based on alleged impartiality concerns, with the case already scheduled for a hearing on 13 November 2013. The court, agreeing with the prosecutor's conclusion that the request was unfounded, held that the statutory conditions for transfer were not met, as no grounds for suspicion of partiality or other legal impediments justifying relocation were established.
