Petitioner’s request to transfer jurisdiction rejected; case remains with original court

The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed the application for transfer of jurisdiction (strămutare) filed by the petitioner, ordering that the case remain pending before the Dambovita Court of Appeal; this decision is final and not subject to appeal. The dispute concerned a procedural request to move civil case No. 611/315/2012 away from its assigned court, which the petitioner argued for unstated reasons while the Public Prosecutor opposed the transfer. The court denied the request, upholding the jurisdiction of the court of first instance as recorded in the judicial evidence system, where the next hearing was scheduled for October 25, 2012. The operative outcome was the rejection of the transfer petition, leaving the original jurisdiction intact.
