The High Court of Cassation and Justice rejected as inadmissible the preliminary reference question submitted by the Buzău District Court, thereby leaving the lower instance proceedings unaffected and preventing a definitive ruling on the legal issue at hand. The dispute concerned a civil construction case where the trial court sought clarification on whether the action for invalidation or rectification of construction permits under Article 32(1)(b) of Law No. 50/1991 is subject to a statute of limitations (prescriptible) or is imprescriptible. The Supreme Court did not address the substantive merits of the prescription question, deciding solely on the procedural admissibility of the referral itself based on the requirements for preliminary references under the Code of Civil Procedure.
