Legislator summary

AI generated

The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed the preliminary reference from the Bucharest Court of Appeal as inadmissible, leaving the underlying proceedings unaffected. The dispute concerned the interpretation of Articles 2551–2553 of the Civil Code regarding how calendar day terms agreed upon by parties in a contract should be applied. The decisive legal basis was Article 521(3) of the Code of Civil Procedure, which governs the mandatory nature and admissibility of preliminary rulings in civil litigation.
