Request for transfer of case to another jurisdiction dismissed

The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed the petition filed by the plaintiff, ordering that the case remain with the Focșani Court of Law, a decision that is final and non-appealable. The dispute concerned a procedural request for the transfer (stramutare) of the case from the original jurisdiction to a different court; the Public Ministry opposed the transfer, noting that the case was already scheduled for a hearing in September 2012. The court's decision was based on the procedural grounds that the request for transfer was not justified under the applicable civil procedure rules, resulting in the rejection of the application and the retention of jurisdiction by the lower court.
