Petition for transfer of jurisdiction between courts: sufficiency of grounds and existing hearing schedule

The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed the petition for transfer of jurisdiction filed by the plaintiffs regarding the case pending before the District Court of Sector 2 Bucharest, resulting in the rejection of the request and a final, non-appealable decision. The dispute concerned a procedural motion to move the case to a different court, where the petitioners argued for a transfer while the respondent and the Public Prosecutor opposed it, with the presiding assistant magistrate noting that the referenced case already had a hearing scheduled for May 17, 2013, in the automated court registry. The court's decision to deny the transfer is based on the procedural requirements for changing the competent court, evaluating the lack of sufficient grounds to warrant such a strategic change in venue for the civil matter in question.
