Transfer of jurisdiction application between courts of appeal due to scheduled hearing date

The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed the request filed by the Cluj Court of Appeal to transfer Case No. 3051/96/2011 to a different jurisdiction, ruling in favor of the opposing party and leaving the case at the Court of Appeal of Harghita. The dispute involved a procedural application for the transfer of jurisdiction (strămutare a pricinii), with the public prosecutor supporting the transfer and the assistant magistrate noting the scheduled hearing date. The court’s decision was based on the administrative evaluation of the transfer request under Romanian civil procedure rules regarding jurisdiction and court competency, resulting in a final, non-appealable order that the case remains with the originally designated court.
