Refusal of jurisdictional transfer due to pending hearing schedule

The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed the application for the transfer of jurisdiction, ruling in favor of the opposing party and ordering that the case remain with the Court of first instance. The dispute concerned a procedural request by a company to transfer a civil matter from the Court of Drobeta-Turnu Severin to a different jurisdiction, which was opposed by the public prosecutor on verbal grounds. The court’s decision was based on the procedural impediment that the scheduled hearing date in the original jurisdiction fell after the date of the transfer request, rendering the transfer request untenable; the decision is final and not subject to appeal.
