The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed as inadmissible a request for a preliminary ruling submitted by the Cluj Court of Appeal. The underlying dispute concerned the interpretation and application of Law No. 63/2011 regarding the 2011 salary classification of teaching staff, with the referring court seeking clarification on whether the legislation discriminated against educators compared to other budget-funded employees. The specific legal questions involved potential violations of Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 and Article 1 of Protocol No. 12 to the European Convention on Human Rights, specifically regarding the deprivation of the right to receive an undiminished salary relative to other public sector categories. The decision is final and binding pursuant to Article 521(3) of the Civil Procedure Code, meaning the requesting court must proceed without the requested interpretative guidance from the supreme court.
