The High Court of Cassation and Justice (Supreme Court), sitting as the Panel for Resolving Questions of Law in Criminal Matters, dismissed as inadmissible the referral from the Timișoara Court of Appeal, thereby leaving the lower court's position on the specific legal question uncontested by a binding preliminary ruling. The dispute concerned whether a civil action seeking material and moral damages is admissible in a criminal proceeding against a defendant charged with the offense of forgery of private documents. The decision relied on the procedural admissibility requirements for referrals under Article 477(3) of the Criminal Procedure Code, which mandates such decisions be obligatory from the date of publication in the Official Monitor.
