Legislator summary

AI generated

The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed as inadmissible the preliminary question referred by the Court of Appeal Cluj regarding whether an appellate court, reviewing a case tried under the former Code of Criminal Procedure, could order the remittal of the case to the prosecution for redoing the investigation or the act of referral to the court, and whether it could order the exclusion of illegally obtained evidence from the pretrial phase. The dispute centered on procedural rights under the new legal framework, specifically the right to a dual degree of jurisdiction and the application of human rights standards to cases initiated under the old procedural code. The decision rests on the procedural inadmissibility of the reference to the Plenary for the Settlement of Questions of Law in criminal matters, leaving the specific procedural mechanisms and evidentiary exclusions unresolved at this instance.

Şedinţa din data de 29 octombrie 2015

ÎN NUMELE LEGII

D E C I D E:

Respinge, ca inadmisibilă, sesizarea formulată de Curtea de Apel Cluj – Secţia Penală şi de minori, în dosarul nr. 4892/117/2012, prin care se solicită pronunţarea unei hotărâri prealabile pentru dezlegarea următoarei chestiuni de drept: „în temeiul art.2 din Protocolul nr.7 la Convenţia Europeană a Drepturilor Omului şi de prevederile art.129 din Constituţie, care consacră dreptul la un dublu grad de jurisdicţie în materie penală, atunci când judecata în fond s-a desfăşurat în temeiul vechiului Cod de procedură penală, poate instanţa de apel să dispună trimiterea cauzei la parchet în vederea refacerii urmăririi penale ori a actului de sesizare a instanţei? În acelaşi temei, poate instanţa de apel să dispună excluderea unor probe administrate nelegal în faza de urmărire penală?”.

Pronunțată în ședință publică, astăzi, 29 octombrie 2015.
