Transfer of civil case jurisdiction from one Court of Appeal to another

The High Court of Cassation and Justice (ICCSJ) admitted the request to transfer jurisdiction, ordering the civil case be moved from the Iași Court of Appeal to the Bistrița-Năsăud Court of Appeal while preserving all procedural acts previously completed. The dispute concerned a procedural application for *strămutare* (transfer of venue) filed by two applicants against a pending civil lawsuit originating at the Iași Court of Appeal, where the prosecutor’s office had concluded against the transfer. The decisive legal basis was the court’s procedural authority to modify venue for jurisdictional or procedural reasons, as exercised through the specialized civil section under the applicable rules of civil procedure governing the transfer of cases between courts of equal rank.
