Refusal of civil case venue transfer due to imminent hearing date

The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed the request for venue transfer, ruling that the petitioner’s application was inadmissible; consequently, the case remains pending before the initial court, and the decision is final with no further appeal available. The dispute concerned a procedural motion to transfer a civil case from the Târgoviște District Court to another court, based on arguments regarding procedural integrity or conflict of interest. The court’s decisive legal basis for dismissal was the procedural requirement that the hearing date for the underlying case (scheduled for May 24, 2012, two days after the hearing) precluded a timely venue transfer under the rules governing change of venue, as the matter was already scheduled for judgment.
