Refusal of transfer of civil proceedings due to scheduled hearing date

The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed the request for the transfer of a civil case from the Târgu Jiu Court, resulting in the rejection of the petitioner's application and leaving the original court competent to continue the proceedings. The dispute concerned a procedural request for the transfer of jurisdiction ( strămutare ) for Case No. 367/195/2011, initiated after the prosecutor argued against the transfer and the assistant magistrate noted that the case already had a scheduled hearing date in October 2013, which likely necessitated a procedural justification for moving the case. The decisive legal basis for the dismissal was the court's analysis of the procedural requirements for transferring jurisdiction, determining that the conditions for such a transfer were not met, thereby upholding the competence of the original court without establishing any new jurisdictional venue.
