Change of venue petition for pending civil case; procedural admissibility and jurisdictional transfer requirements

The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed without appeal the petition for a change of venue (strămutare) filed by the appellant, thereby denying the request and leaving the jurisdiction of the first-instance court unchanged. The dispute concerned a procedural application to transfer a pending civil case (Case No. 2255/328/2010) from the Turda Court due to alleged impediments or necessity, which the Prosecutor opposed based on oral arguments. The court determined that although the citation procedure and stamp duty were legally complied with, the substantive requirements for a change of venue were not met, noting specifically that the case had a hearing scheduled for March 14, 2012, which likely impacted the timing or urgency of the request under the relevant civil procedure codes governing changes of jurisdiction.
