The Romanian High Court of Cassation and Justice annulled the defendant's appeal as insufficiently stamped, thereby upholding the lower court's judgment that had ordered the defendant to pay 1,968 German marks (converted to lei at execution). The defendant had appealed a Court of Appeal decision that had affirmed a trial court ruling in a commercial dispute over a debt; although the defendant paid part of the stamp duty, it failed to pay the remaining 148,940 lei despite being notified. The court applied the sanction of annulment under Article 20 of Law No. 146/1997 and Article 9 of Government Ordinance No. 32/1994, which require full payment of judicial stamp fees for an appeal to be validly considered. The decision is final and irrevocable.

Asupra recursului de față:

Din examinarea lucrărilor din dosar, constată următoarele:

Pârâta S.C. G.I. S.R.L. Constanța a declarat recurs contra deciziei civile nr. 695/2001 a Curții de Apel Constanța, prin care a fost respins apelul său contra sentinței civile nr. 719/2000, care a obligat-o la plata sumei de 1968 de mărci germane, în echivalent lei la data executării obligației de plată.

Odată cu recursul, recurenta a achitat 1.015.000 lei taxă judiciară de timbru și 30.000 lei timbru judiciar, din suma datorată de 1.163.940 lei.

Prin citație i s-a pus în vedere să achite diferența datorată, de 148.940 lei taxă judiciară, dar nu și-a îndeplinit această obligație.

Consecința este aplicarea sancțiunii anulării, ca insuficient timbrat, a recursului, prevăzută de art. 20 din Legea nr. 146/1997 și de art. 9 din O.G. nr. 32/1994.

PENTRU ACESTE MOTIVE
