The High Court of Cassation and Justice admitted the referral from the Pitești Court of Appeal and held, in a preliminary ruling on a question of law, that Article 9 of Law No. 118/2010 (concerning measures to restore budgetary balance) suspends only the *exercise* of the right to certain allowances or indemnities during 3 July–31 December 2010, not the *existence* of that right. The ruling, binding under Article 521(3) of the Civil Procedure Code, was issued in a case involving claims for unpaid benefits for that period, and clarifies that the statutory suspension does not extinguish the underlying entitlement to such payments.
