Transfer of civil proceedings between regional courts due to scheduling conflict

The High Court of Cassation and Justice, Civil Section I, granted the petition filed by the Harghita Court of Appeals, ordering the transfer of a pending civil case to the Alba Court of Appeals while preserving all procedural acts already completed; the decision is final and admits no further appeal. The underlying dispute involved a civil case originally heard by the Harghita Court of Appeals, which faced a scheduled hearing on March 12, 2013, prompting the request for jurisdictional transfer to a different court. The court based its ruling on its authority to manage jurisdictional transfers between courts of the same instance level to ensure proper judicial administration, as evidenced by the prosecutor’s concurrence and the programmatic scheduling conflict that necessitated the move of the proceedings.
