The High Court of Cassation and Justice admitted the appeal in the interest of the law filed by the Cluj Court of Appeal leadership, establishing a mandatory rule for the uniform application of the law. The dispute concerned whether the suspension of appeal rights, generally applicable upon the opening of bankruptcy proceedings, extends to appeals filed by an insurance or reinsurance debtor against pre-existing judgments regarding creditor claims. Relying on a systematic interpretation of Article 262(4) of the Bankruptcy Code read in light of Article 75 of Law No. 85/2014, the court held that such appeals by insurance or reinsurance entities are not suspended by operation of law.
