Transfer of civil case jurisdiction between appellate courts to ensure impartial trial.

The High Court of Cassation and Justice granted the petition of the plaintiff, transferring the subject case from the Oradea Court of Appeal to the Cluj Court of Appeal while retaining the validity of previously completed procedural acts; the decision is final and not subject to appeal. The dispute involved a procedural motion to transfer jurisdiction, triggered by a potential conflict of interest or local bias in the original instance, specifically regarding a case scheduled for judgment on May 9, 2013. Although the Public Prosecutor argued for dismissal based on verbal grounds, the Court admitted the petition, relying on the statutory power to relocate civil proceedings to ensure impartiality and the proper administration of justice, without specifying the exact doctrinal provision but exercising its discretionary authority to change the competent court.
