The court declared the appellant's appeal null and upheld the lower court's decision, ordering the appellant to pay 15,000,000 lei in costs to the respondent. The case involved a civil appeal against Court of Appeal Bucharest's decision no. 564 of 13 December 2001; the appellant filed the appeal on 19 December 2001 but submitted the statement of grounds only on 14 October 2003. The decisive legal basis was the Code of Civil Procedure, specifically Articles 301 (15-day appeal term from notice), 303(1) (grounds must be filed within that term), and 306(1) (appeal is void if not timely motivated), with Article 306(2) requiring dismissal unless public-order grounds are raised or found; no such grounds existed.

Asupra recursului de față:

Din examinarea lucrărilor din dosar, constată următoarele:

Reclamantul A.N. a declarat recurs împotriva deciziei civile nr. 564 din 13 decembrie 2001 pronunțată de Curtea de Apel București, secția a III-a civilă, în dosarul nr. 3326/2001.

Recursul a fost declarat la 19 decembrie 2001 înregistrat inițial la secția comercială a Curții Supreme de Justiție (dosar nr. 382/2002), iar motivele de recurs au fost depuse la 14 octombrie 2003 (fila 26 copia recipisei și fila 30 plic către curtea de apel, aflată în același dosar).

Hotărârea instanței de apel atacată prin prezentul recurs, i-a fost comunicată recurentului la adresa indicată în cererea de apel, strada av. T.V. nr. 16 sector 1, la 20 decembrie 2001 (a se vedea fila 24, dosar 3326/2001 al Curții de Apel București, secția a III-a civilă).

Conform art. 301 C. proc. civ. termenul de recurs este de 15 zile de la comunicarea hotărârii, iar potrivit art. 303 alin. (1), recursul se va motiva prin însăși cererea de recurs sau înăuntrul termenului de recurs.

Dispozițiile art. 306 alin. (1) C. proc. civ. prevăd că recursul este nul dacă nu a fost motivat în termenul legal.

După cum s-a arătat recurentul a motivat recursul după expirarea termenului de motivare.

Nefiind invocate motive de ordine publică sau constatate asemenea motive din oficiu, conform art. 306 alin. (2) C. proc. civ., urmează a se constata nul recursul declarat de reclamant.
