Petition for transfer of civil proceedings dismissed

The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed the petition for transfer (strămutare) filed by the applicants, thereby upholding the jurisdiction of the Botoșani Court of First Instance over the underlying civil proceedings. The dispute concerned a procedural motion to relocate the case from its originally assigned court, with the Public Ministry opposing the request on the grounds that the file already had a scheduled hearing date in September 2013. The decision is final and non-appealable, resolving the jurisdictional challenge without altering the substantive status of the original litigation.
