The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed as inadmissible the request for a preliminary ruling by the Bucharest Court of Appeals. The dispute concerned the interpretation of Article 58 of Law No. 263/2010 regarding the public pension system, specifically whether the date of disability acquisition could be proven by means other than the official disability certificate, as opposed to the restrictive definition of "having completed a period in disability conditions" under Article 43 of Government Decision No. 257/2011. By rejecting the referral as inadmissible, the Court of Cassation declined to provide a binding interpretation, thereby leaving the lower courts to resolve the evidentiary requirements without a mandatory preliminary clarification from the supreme instance.
