Venue transfer petition rejected to preserve original forum jurisdiction

The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed the petition filed by a plaintiff seeking the transfer (strămutare) of Case No. 11500/281/2011 from the Prahova County Court, thereby rejecting the application and leaving the case under the jurisdiction of the original court; the decision is final and not subject to appeal. The dispute concerned a procedural motion for venue change in an ongoing civil matter, where the petitioner argued for a transfer while the Public Prosecutor’s Office recommended rejection based on the fact that the next hearing was scheduled for the very day following the request (March 28, 2013). The court’s ruling relied on procedural grounds related to the timing and necessity of the transfer request within the framework of national case management systems, prioritizing the continuity of proceedings at the original forum over the petitioner's request for reassignment.
