Jurisdictional transfer of pending civil appeal dismissed

The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed the application filed by a party seeking the transfer (strămutare) of a civil case pending before the Craiova Court of Appeal, leaving the matter within the jurisdiction of the original court without the possibility of further appeal. The dispute concerned a procedural request to transfer the proceedings from the Court of Appeal to another jurisdiction, which the session prosecutor opposed, arguing that the transfer was not justified. The court’s decision was grounded in the procedural rules governing the transfer of jurisdiction (strămutare), finding that the statutory conditions for relocating the case were not met, thereby upholding the jurisdiction of the Craiova Court of Appeal for the pending civil trial.
