Petition for transfer of civil proceedings between courts rejected due to pending scheduled hearing

The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed the request for the removal (transfer) of the civil case from the Iași Court to another jurisdiction, thereby upholding the original court's competence and leaving the proceedings at the initial instance without appeal. The dispute concerned a procedural motion filed by the plaintiffs to transfer Case No. 14378/245/2012, which the public prosecutor opposed, citing the court's standardized electronic docket system that showed an upcoming hearing scheduled for September 25, 2012. The decisive legal basis for the dismissal was the lack of justification for the removal request in light of the active procedural schedule and the procedural rules governing the change of competent court (transfer of venue) in Romanian civil litigation.
