The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed the reference for a preliminary ruling submitted by the Gorj County Court as inadmissible, leaving the underlying labor dispute without a unified judicial interpretation. The case involved a conflict over the statutory method for updating service pensions for court clerks during the 2018–2020 period, specifically contesting whether the indexation should be calculated based on the prior year's inflation rate or the inflation rate known on January 1 of the respective year as communicated by the National Institute of Statistics. The decision relied on the procedural requirement that such references must be admissible to trigger the mandatory binding nature of the court's reasoning under Article 521(3) of the Code of Civil Procedure, with the substantive issue governed by Article 685(10) of Law No. 567/2004 regarding the status of specialized auxiliary staff of the judiciary.
