Jurisdictional transfer request dismissed as moot following the resolution of the underlying civil proceedings

The High Court of Cassation and Justice (Civil Section I) dismissed the petition for transfer of jurisdiction filed by the applicant, ruling that the request had become moot following the resolution of the underlying case. The dispute concerned a request to transfer civil case no. 491/274/2012 from the Mehedinți Court of Appeal to a different court, which was challenged by the opposing party and the prosecutor as procedurally invalid due to the conclusion of the trial. The decisive legal basis was the procedural requirement that a petition for jurisdictional transfer remains admissible only while the underlying case is pending; since the records indicated the original case was resolved on April 28, 2013, prior to this hearing, the transfer request was rejected as having no remaining object, and the decision is final with no avenue for appeal.
