Transfer of jurisdiction motion for civil case pending before first-instance court

The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed the transfer of jurisdiction request filed by the claimant regarding Case No. 16522/196/2012 from the Brăila Court, leaving the original court competent to hear the matter, with the decision being final and not subject to appeal. The dispute involved a procedural motion for *strămutare* (transfer of jurisdiction) filed by the claimant against the defendant, both of whom were absent at the hearing, where the Public Prosecutor represented the state and advocated for the rejection of the request. The court based its decision on the procedural requirement that the motion be rejected in the absence of justifying grounds, noting that the case retained a scheduled hearing date in the electronic registry, thereby denying the claimant’s attempt to move the trial to a different court instance.
