The Supreme Court of Cassation and Justice (Secția de Contencios Administrativ și Fiscal) ordered that the appeal (recurs) filed against a civil judgment of the Giurgiu Tribunal dated 15 May 2003 be returned to that tribunal for proper forwarding to the competent court, thus rejecting the direct submission to the Supreme Court. The dispute concerned procedural venue for an administrative appeal, with the court holding that under Article II paragraph (3) of Emergency Ordinance No. 58/2003 (in force from 28 August 2003) and Article 725 point 4 of the Civil Procedure Code, judgments issued before the new law's entry into force remain subject to the appeals and deadlines of the law under which they were pronounced; therefore, the appeal filed before that date was correctly lodged at the Giurgiu Tribunal under Article 302 of the Civil Procedure Code, and the case had been erroneously forwarded to the Supreme Court. The court thus prevailed on the procedural point, remanding the case for transmission to the appellate court with jurisdiction under the pre-28 August 2003 procedure.

Analizând regularitatea sesizării sale, constată următoarele:

În conformitate cu dispozițiile art. II alin. (3) din O.U.G. nr. 58/2003, intrată în vigoare – potrivit art. III din aceiași ordonanță – la data de 28 august 2003, „Hotărârile pronunțate înainte de intrarea în vigoare a prezentei ordonanțe de urgență rămân supuse căilor de atac și termenelor prevăzute de legea sub care au fost pronunțate”.

De altfel, același mod de reglementare se regăsește și în prevederile art. 725 pct. 4 C. proc. civ., care stabilesc că „Hotărârile pronunțate înainte de intrarea în vigoare a legii noi, rămân supuse căilor de atac și termenelor prevăzute de legea sub care au fost pronunțate”.

În cauză, se constată că hotărârea recurată a fost pronunțată la data de 15 mai 2003, deci anterior intrării în vigoare a O.U.G. nr. 58/2003, situație în care în mod corect cererea de recurs a fost depusă la Tribunalul Giurgiu, în temeiul art. 302 C. proc. civ., de unde aceasta urma să fie înaintată instanței competente, potrivit legii în vigoare, la data la care a fost pronunțată.

Așa fiind, în mod greșit dosarul a fost înaintat Curții Supreme de Justiție, în raport cu dispozițiile procedurale sus invocate.

În consecință, se va trimite dosarul la instanța unde a fost înregistrată cererea de recurs, aceasta urmând să-l înainteze instanței competente, potrivit dispozițiilor procedurale anterioare datei de 28 august 2003.
