Case transfer denied as moot due to prior final judgment

The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed the request for case transfer filed by the petitioner, resulting in a final, non-appealable decision that kept the proceedings at the original court. The dispute concerned a procedural motion to transfer case no. 252/231/2012 from the Focșani Court, which the Court of Appeals rejected on the ground that the underlying case had already been adjudicated on June 11, 2012, rendering the request for transfer moot and legally inadmissible. The decisive legal basis for this outcome was the procedural requirement that a case transfer can only be granted if the underlying matter is still pending; since the public prosecutor noted and the court verified that a final judgment had already been issued, the request lacked the necessary procedural standing to be entertained.
