Denial of transfer of civil case jurisdiction for lack of grounds

The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed the application for transfer of jurisdiction, leaving the case to be heard by the Craiova Court of First Instance, with the decision being final and non-appealable. The dispute concerned a procedural request by the plaintiff to move the trial venue for a civil case pending before the lower court, where a response had been filed by the defendant and a hearing was scheduled for late March 2013. The court rejected the request as unfounded, upholding the jurisdiction of the originally assigned court under the procedural norms governing the transfer of cases (strămutare) and the principle of territorial competence, thereby denying the plaintiff's attempt to shift the litigation to a different venue.
