Legislator summary

AI generated

The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed the appeal in cassation as inadmissible, leaving the intermediate appellate decision of December 16, 2003, which annulled the first-instance judgment and retained the case for retrial, in force. The dispute concerned the procedural admissibility of a cassation appeal filed directly against this intermediate ruling, specifically challenging the appellate court’s order to cancel the lower court’s sentence and evocare the merits for a definitive judgment. The court held that an appeal in cassation is not admissible against intermediate decisions; pursuant to Article 299(1) of the Civil Procedure Code, only definitive decisions rendering the final judgment are subject to cassation, whereas the decision under review was merely an intermediate step under Article 297(1), making it reviewable only together with the subsequent definitive decision.

Asupra recursurilor de față:

Din examinarea lucrărilor din dosar, constată următoarele:

Prin decizia civilă nr. 583 din 16 decembrie 2003 a fost admis apelul și, în baza art. 297 C. proc. civ., s-a anulat sentința apelată și a fost reținută cauza pentru evocarea fondului.

Contra acestei decizii, în baza art. 304 pct. 10 C. proc. civ., a declarat recurs invocând motive care privesc fondul cauzei.

Recursul contra unei hotărâri intermediare este inadmisibil.

Potrivit art. 299 alin. (1) C. proc. civ. „hotărârile date fără drept de apel, cele date în apel ... sunt supuse recursului.

Prin hotărâri date în apel se înțeleg acele hotărâri definitive care evocă fondul cauzei și nu cele intermediare.

Or, conform art. 297 alin. (1) C. proc. civ. „instanța de apel, găsind apelul întemeiat, anulează hotărârea apelată” și va evoca fondul pronunțând o hotărâre definitivă.

Așadar, în acest caz judecata apelului în fond nu a avut loc astfel că decizia de anulare se înfățișează ca o hotărâre intermediară, susceptibilă de recurs odată cu decizia definitivă care evocă fondul.

Irevocabilă.
