Civil litigation: Petition for transfer of jurisdiction (strămutare) dismissed due to failure to substantiate the request for moving the case from a suspended proceeding.

The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed the petition filed by the plaintiffs, thereby denying their request for the transfer of jurisdiction ( strămutare ) for Case No. 7240/85/2011 from the Sibiu Court of Appeal, leaving the proceedings suspended at that court in force. The dispute concerned a procedural motion to relocate the lawsuit to a different tribunal, which the defendant opposed in a written statement, while the Public Prosecutor’s Office concluded for dismissal; the court determined that the transfer request was not legally justified. The decision is final and non-appealable, resting on the procedural framework governing the suspension of proceedings and the strict conditions required for transferring a case between jurisdictions under the Romanian Code of Civil Procedure.
