Transfer Request Moot as Underlying Case Already Resolved; Petitioner Fails

The High Court of Cassation and Justice (Civil Section I) dismissed the request for the transfer of the case (strămutare) filed by the petitioner concerning the case pending before the Focșani Court; the decision is final and without appeal. The request was made in a civil procedure context, seeking to move the case to another court, but the application was rejected because the case file had already been resolved on 22 May 2012, as noted from the court’s computerized records; the prosecutor also opposed the request. The legal basis is the procedural rules governing the discretionary transfer of cases, which require the request to be considered in light of the case’s status, and since the case was already decided, the request became moot.
