The High Court of Cassation and Justice (ICCJ), sitting as the Complete Bench for Resolving Legal Questions, dismissed as inadmissible a request for a preliminary ruling submitted by the Brașov Court of Appeal in an administrative and fiscal dispute. The case concerned the interpretation of the term "standard age" under Article 517(1)(d) of Emergency Government Ordinance No. 57/2019 (the Administrative Code), specifically whether it refers to the standard age defined in Article 53(1) or the definition in Article 3(v) of Law No. 263/2010 regarding the unified public pension system. By rejecting the referral, the ICCJ left the lower court’s proceedings to continue without a binding interpretative precedent from the Supreme level, with the decision being mandatory pursuant to Article 521(3) of the Civil Procedure Code.
