Transfer of case proceedings denied for lack of pending proceedings after prior resolution

The High Court of Cassation and Justice (Civil Division I) dismissed the petition for transfer (strămutare) of the case, leaving the proceedings with the Court of First Instance (Tribunal). The dispute concerned a procedural motion to transfer a civil case from the competent court to another due to allegations of lack of impartiality or local prejudice; however, the request was rejected because the underlying case had already been resolved by the lower court on November 22, 2012, rendering the transfer moot. The decisive legal basis is the requirement that a petition for transfer must be filed before the conclusion of the trial or final decision, as a court cannot transfer a matter that has already been adjudicated and closed at the lower instance level.
