Venue transfer request for civil litigation with imminent hearing date

The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed the petition for the transfer of venue filed by the applicant, leaving the case with the Court of Appeal of Bucharest, Section IX Civil and Intellectual Property, Conflicts of Labor and Social Security. The dispute concerned a procedural request to move the trial from its current forum, which the court rejected after noting that the file had a scheduled hearing date shortly after the petition was filed and that the applicant had submitted clarifications immediately prior. The decisive legal basis for the dismissal was the procedural requirement regarding the timeliness and necessity of a venue transfer request, specifically considering that the case was already actively in litigation with an imminent hearing, rendering the transfer procedurally inappropriate or unnecessary at that stage.
