Change of venue denied for insufficient legal grounds; original court to proceed.

The High Court of Cassation and Justice (Civil Section I) rejected the petitioner’s request for a change of venue (strămutare) in the case pending before the Galați Tribunal (Case No. 3879/121/2013), with no appeal available, thereby denying the motion and leaving the original court to proceed. The petitioner sought transfer of the case due to alleged procedural concerns, and the court, after verifying proper citation and the scheduled hearing date, heard the petitioner’s submission and the Public Ministry’s opposition. The decision rests on the court’s assessment that the statutory conditions for transfer (under Romanian procedural rules governing strămutare) were not met, as the request lacked sufficient legal grounding, resulting in its dismissal without further review.
