The High Court of Cassation and Justice annulled the cassation appeal filed by the claimant company as untaxed and ordered it to pay the defendant 1,500 lei in litigation costs, thereby leaving the appellate court's decision—which had dismissed the original claim and reinstated the defendant's position—irrevocably in force. The dispute concerned a civil action initiated by the claimant that was initially granted by the first-instance court but subsequently reversed by the appellate court; the claimant attempted to challenge this reversal via cassation. The High Court applied Article 20(3) of Law No. 146/1997 regarding the mandatory payment of judicial fees, determining that the claimant failed to comply with the legal obligation to stamp the appeal despite proper notice, and applied Article 274(1) of the Code of Civil Procedure to award costs to the respondent.

Asupra recursului de faţă,

Din examinarea lucrărilor din dosar, constată următoarele:

Prin sentinţa nr. 1768 din 9 noiembrie 2007, Tribunalul Dâmboviţa a admis acţiunea reclamantei SC S.T. SRL

Prin Decizia nr. 59 din 18 martie 2008 Curtea de Apel Ploieşti a admis apelul declarat de pârâtul D.I., a schimbat, în tot, sentinţa apelată şi, pe fond, a respins acţiunea.

Împotriva deciziei pronunţate în apel a declarat recurs reclamanta SC S.T. SRL Bucureşti.

Deşi legal citată pentru acest termen cu menţiunea de a depune taxa judiciară de timbru în cuantum de 9,5 lei şi timbrul judiciar în valoare de 0,15 lei (fila 6 dosar recurs), recurenta - reclamantă nu s-a conformat obligaţiei de timbrare, aşa încât, dând eficienţă dispoziţiilor art. 20 alin. (3) din Legea nr. 146/1997, Înalta Curte urmează să anuleze recursul formulat în cauză, ca netimbrat.

Văzând şi cererea de cheltuieli de judecată, formulată de către intimatul - pârât, urmează ca, în temeiul art. 274 alin. (1) C. proc. civ. să oblige recurenta, în culpă procesuală, la plata cheltuielilor de judecată în cuantum de 1.500 lei.

PENTRU ACESTE MOTIVE

ÎN NUMELE LEGII

D E C I D E

Anulează recursul declarat de reclamanta SC S.T. SRL Bucureşti, împotriva deciziei Curţii de Apel Ploieşti nr. 59 din 18 martie 2008, ca netimbrat.

Obligă recurenta să plătească intimatului - pârât D.I. suma de 1.500 lei, cheltuieli de judecată reprezentând onorariu de avocat.

Irevocabilă.

Pronunţată în şedinţă publică, astăzi 26 noiembrie 2008.
