Petition for transfer of civil litigation dismissed as moot after underlying case resolved

The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed the petition for transfer of venue, resulting in no change to the jurisdiction of the original court. The dispute involved a civil case pending at the Cluj Court of Appeal, where the applicants sought a transfer based on procedural grounds, but the court noted that the file had already been resolved in June 2013 and the parties had requested default judgment. The court’s decision was grounded in the procedural doctrine that a request for transfer becomes moot (rămâsă fără obiect) if the underlying litigation is already concluded or has entered a stage that precludes the sought administrative reassignment, thereby upholding the finality of the prior procedural state.
