The High Court of Cassation and Justice, acting through its full bench for legal interpretation, admitted the referral from the Court of Appeal and issued a mandatory interpretative ruling on the calculation of service pensions for judges and prosecutors. The dispute concerned the application of Article 82(5) of Law No. 303/2004 regarding the statutory pension for judicial and prosecutorial officials, specifically questioning how to compute the required years of service and the cross-reference to other provisions within the same article. The court determined that for the purpose of granting the pension under Article 82(5), only the length of service in the specific functions enumerated in that subparagraph shall be considered, and clarified that the cross-reference to Article 82(1) applies solely to the condition of having at least 25 years of total service.
