Motion to transfer jurisdiction dismissed for lack of merit

The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed the petition for the transfer of jurisdiction (strămutarea pricinii), ruling that the request was unfounded and leaving Case No. 12880/306/2009 of the Alba Iulia Court of Appeals in its original forum. The dispute concerned a procedural motion to transfer a civil case, where the petitioners argued for a venue change, but the court noted that the file contained a voluminous set of documents and the hearing was already scheduled for April 11, 2013. The dismissal was grounded in the procedural assessment that the conditions for transferring jurisdiction were not met, with the representative of the Public Ministry supporting the rejection on the basis that the petition lacked merit, resulting in a final decision without any avenue for appeal.
