Judicial transfer of civil case denied due to imminent hearing date at the competent court

The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed the application for the transfer (relocation) of the civil case pending at the Vaslui County Court, upholding the position of the Public Prosecutor and leaving the original court in force for the continuation of the proceedings. The dispute concerned a procedural request to move the venue of case no. 5319/333/2010, which the applicant argued should be heard by a different instance. The Court’s decision was grounded in the administrative fact that the target case had a scheduled hearing date of September 25, 2012, according to the court’s computerized evidence registry, which likely precluded or rendered unnecessary the immediate relocation requested by the applicant.
