Transfer of civil jurisdiction due to suspension of proceedings under Art. 40(2) Code of Civil Procedure

The High Court of Cassation and Justice admitted the application for the transfer of a civil case, ordering the transfer of jurisdiction from the Court of Appeal of Dolj to the Court of Appeal of Brașov, while preserving all procedural acts previously performed; the decision is final with no avenue for appeal. The dispute involved a legal entity seeking the transfer of a pending lawsuit due to procedural suspension based on the specific statutory grounds for suspension of proceedings. The decisive legal basis was Article 40(2) of the Code of Civil Procedure, which governs the suspension of the judicial proceedings, and the court’s authority to grant a transfer of jurisdiction (strămutare) upon verification that the request was legally stamped and the underlying case was suspended according to the centralized electronic judicial records.
