The High Court of Cassation and Justice transferred the case to the Gorj Tribunal (administrative litigation section) for competent review, ruling that the police inspectorate's appeal against the lower court's judgment was wrongly filed before it; the appeal itself is not decided on the merits, and the first-instance decision remains in force pending the transfer. The dispute concerns a challenge to a traffic-contravention fine, in which the first-instance court had admitted the contravenient's plaint against the police report. The Court based its transfer on Article 11 of Law No. 180/2002 approving Government Ordinance No. 2/2001 (governing contraventions), which provides that a decision resolving a plaint against a contravention report is appealable by recurs solely to the tribunal's administrative litigation section, and held that this provision was not modified by Emergency Ordinance No. 58/2003 amending the Civil Procedure Code, so it remains fully applicable.

Asupra recursului de față;

Din examinarea lucrărilor din dosar, constată următoarele:

Prin sentința civilă nr. 2102/2003, a Judecătoriei Motru, județul Gorj, a fost admisă plângerea formulată de contravenientul T.R. împotriva procesului-verbal de contravenție seria A.T. nr. 230851 din 28 mai 2003, emis de Poliția Slivilești.

Împotriva acestei hotărâri a declarat recurs Inspectoratul de Poliție al județului Gorj.

Recursul a fost greșit îndreptat la Înalta Curte de Casație și Justiție.

Potrivit dispozițiilor art. 11 din Legea nr. 180/2002, pentru aprobarea O.G. nr. 2/2001, hotărârea prin care s-a soluționat plângerea, poate fi atacată cu recurs la secția de contencios administrativ a tribunalului.

Această dispoziție legală nu a fost modificată prin O.U.G. nr. 58/2003, de modificare a Codului de procedură civilă, astfel încât își are aplicabilitate deplină.

Pentru considerentele expuse, cauza va fi trimisă Tribunalului Gorj, secția de contencios administrativ, spre competentă soluționare.

PENTRU ACESTE MOTIVE

ÎN NUMELE LEGII
