Transfer of case denied; original tribunal retains jurisdiction.

The High Court of Cassation and Justice (Civil Section I) rejected the applicant's request to transfer (strămutare) the case file pending before the Constanța Tribunal, with no further appeal permitted. The applicant had sought removal of the case from that court on grounds of suspicion of partiality or other procedural concerns, but the prosecutor opposed the motion and the court found no basis for transfer. The decision, issued in a council chamber on May 3, 2012, leaves the original case (scheduled for May 15, 2012) to proceed in the original court; the legal basis rests on the statutory conditions for case transfer, which require a showing that impartiality is compromised or that transfer is otherwise necessary, a showing the court found unmet.
