The High Court of Cassation and Justice admitted the appeal in the public interest filed by the Presiding Council of the Alba Iulia Court of Appeal, establishing a mandatory unitary interpretation for nationwide application. The dispute concerned the legal classification of working periods for pension rights under the public pension system, specifically addressing whether time served in special working groups qualifies as special conditions for pension calculation purposes. The Court ruled that, in the unitary application of Article 30(1)(i) and (44) of Law No. 263/2010 on the unified system of public pensions, the period "asimilated" to special working conditions is exclusively the time during which an employee performed activities in Work Group I and/or Work Group II, thereby clarifying the statutory scope of such favorable pension regimes.
