Petition for transfer of civil case dismissed

The High Court of Cassation and Justice, Civil Section I, dismissed the petition for the transfer of venue (stramutare), ruling that the procedural requirements were not met and no prior instance is affected as the matter was non-appealable. The dispute concerned a request by a plaintiff to transfer the civil case pending before the Bihor Court of Appeal from its originally assigned court to another jurisdiction, where the prosecutor argued against the transfer based on the established hearing schedule and procedural defects. The decision hinges on the doctrine of venue integrity and statutory procedural requirements for changing the competent court, concluding that the petition lacked the necessary legal grounds to displace the currently assigned tribunal.
