The High Court of Cassation and Justice, acting as the full court for resolving questions of law, admitted the reference filed by the Mureș Tribunal and established a binding legal interpretation applicable to all similar cases. The dispute concerned the temporal scope of Government Decision No. 507/2014, specifically whether its price index adjustments for rent on retroceded public interest properties applied to monthly rents owed prior to the decree's entry into force. The Court ruled that the update using the Consumer Price Index for the period between April 2007 and May 2014 applies retroactively to monthly rents established under Annex 1 of Government Decision No. 1886/2006, Article 1(10) of Emergency Government Ordinance No. 94/2000 (concerning religious properties), and Article 1(5) of Emergency Government Ordinance No. 83/1999 (concerning national minority properties), all as subsequently amended. The decisive legal basis is the interpretation of the unique article of Government Decision No. 507/2014 in conjunction with the antecedent regulations cited above, mandating that the rent updates under the 2014 decree cover arrears due prior to its effective date.
