The High Court of Cassation and Justice (Second Civil Section) found the appeal (recurs) to be perimated (lapsed) and thereby dismissed it, ruling in favor of the respondent, as the appellant had failed to pursue the case. The appeal had been filed on December 5, 2000 against a decision of the Ploiești Court of Appeal in a commercial dispute, but after the case was suspended on May 21, 2002 due to the parties' absence, the appellant let it remain dormant for over six months. Invoking Articles 248–252 of the Romanian Civil Procedure Code, the court held that the legal conditions for peremption were met—the case was commercial, no party requested judgment in absentia, and the prescribed delay had passed—thus rendering the appeal irrevocably extinguished.

Asupra recursului de față;

Din examinarea lucrărilor din dosar, constată următoarele:

La data de 5 decembrie 2000 s-a înregistrat recursul contra deciziei nr. 446 din 6 iunie 2000, fixându-se primul termen de judecată, la 21 mai 2002, când, pentru lipsa părților, conform art. 242 art. (2) C. proc. civ. s-a dispus suspendarea judecății.

Recurentul a lăsat dosarul în nelucrare, iar prin referatul din 25 noiembrie 2002 s-a constatat de grefă că au trecut mai mult de 6 luni de la data suspendării, fixându-se termen pentru perimare, potrivit art. 248 C. proc. civ.

Într-adevăr, litigiul are natură comercială, nici una din părți nu a cerut judecata în lipsă, fiind îndeplinite condițiile legale pentru perimare, prevăzute de art. 248 – 252 C. proc. civ., astfel că se va constata perimat recursul.

PENTRU ACESTE MOTIVE
