The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed as inadmissible the reference for the resolution of a legal question submitted by the Court of Appeal of Timișoara, thereby rejecting the procedural challenge and leaving the lower court to decide the merits without a binding uniform interpretation from this instance. The dispute concerned a labor law issue arising from an indefinite-term employment contract where the employee combined a pension with their salary, specifically whether the contractual termination age was automatically capped at 65 years due to the cumulative pension receipt. The decisive legal basis involved the interpretation of Article 56(1)(c) of the Labor Code read in conjunction with Article 22 of Emergency Ordinance No. 144/2008, which governs the conditions for combining pension benefits with income and the standard retirement age for such cumulative cases.
