Procedural mootness of a case transfer request following prior judgment

The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed the request for the transfer of a civil case, thereby upholding the status quo and allowing the proceedings to continue at the originally assigned court. The applicant, a homeowners' association, sought to relocate its dispute regarding building management or property rights from a sector court in Bucharest to a different jurisdiction. The court denied the transfer because the case had already been resolved on January 31, 2012, rendering the request moot and legally untenable. The decision is final and not subject to appeal, resting on the procedural requirement that a case must be pending for a transfer to be granted and the substantive rule that a court lacks jurisdiction to modify the procedural status of a concluded proceeding.
