Legislator summary

AI generated

The High Court of Cassation and Justice rejected as inadmissible the referral from the Court of Appeal Craiova seeking a preliminary ruling on whether the offense of abuse of office under Article 297 of the Criminal Code or Article 246 of the 1969 Criminal Code remained criminally punishable or was decriminalized following Constitutional Court Decision No. 405 of June 15, 2016. The court held the referral inadmissible because the question concerned the interpretation of an already-existing constitutional ruling rather than a genuine issue of law requiring uniform interpretation under Article 475 et seq. of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The decision became binding upon publication in the Official Gazette pursuant to Article 477(3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
