The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed the preliminary ruling request filed by the Timiş County Court as inadmissible, leaving the lower instance to resolve the case without binding guidance from the specialized panel. The dispute concerned whether a property owner in a cadastral region subject to the 1938 land registry unification decree could unilaterally request a modification of a land plot's surface area through a direct civil action under Article 914 of the Civil Code, or whether such a change is exclusively obtainable through the specific administrative/procedural steps mandated by Article 41 of the Cadastre and Real Estate Publicity Law No. 7/1996, where the property had been registered before the latter law entered into force. The court's decision hinges on the admissibility requirements for initiating a preliminary ruling under Article 521(3) of the Code of Civil Procedure, determining that the specific legal question raised did not meet the statutory criteria for mandatory jurisdiction.
