Preliminary ruling referral inadmissible for lack of jurisdiction under Article 521(3) Civil Procedure Code.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed as inadmissible the referral from the Bucharest Court of Appeal seeking a preliminary ruling on whether Article 63(12), first sentence, of Decree No. 240/2020 (extending the state of emergency in Romania) applies to limitation periods (perimare) already running when the state of emergency was declared. The referral arose in a labor and social insurance case (docket no. 30113/3/2008) and concerned the interpretation of that decree provision. The court held the referral inadmissible under Article 521(3) of the Civil Procedure Code, meaning the requested interpretative ruling was not issued; the decision is binding as to the admissibility determination, and no substantive ruling on the disputed legal question was made.
