The High Court of Cassation and Justice issued a binding interpretative decision in a preliminary ruling procedure, establishing that sums representing pensions, social allowances for pensioners, and caregiver allowances erroneously received after October 1, 2014, are exempt from recovery when they correspond to rights accrued for periods prior to that date. This resolution settled a legal dispute submitted by the Bucharest Court of Appeal regarding the interpretation and application of the Romanian law on the waiver of certain debts arising from pensions, determining the scope of the debt forgiveness measure. The decisive legal basis relied upon was Article 1(1) of Law No. 125/2014, read in conjunction with Articles 5 and 10 of the Methodological Norms approved by Order No. 2073/1623/2014, which the Court construed to protect previously accrued benefits from retroactive recoupment based on post-implementation receipt dates.
