Transfer of civil proceedings between appellate courts due to change in competent jurisdiction

The High Court of Cassation and Justice granted the petitioner's motion for transfer of jurisdiction, relocating the trial from the Iași Court of Appeal to the Galați Court of Appeal while retaining all procedural acts already performed; this final, non-appealable decision resolved a procedural dispute regarding the suitability of the original forum. The case involved a request to transfer a specific civil docket (File No. 24929/245/2010) under the court's inherent power to manage jurisdiction, noting that the target court had a scheduled hearing date of September 12, 2012, despite the Public Prosecutor’s verbal opposition to the transfer. The decisive legal basis was the High Court’s authority under the Romanian Code of Civil Procedure to admit transfers for legitimate organizational or procedural reasons, resulting in the immediate change of competent instance without reopening the merits.
