The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed as inadmissible the referral for a preliminary ruling submitted by the Bistriţa-Năsăud Court of Appeal. The dispute concerned a question of law regarding the interpretation of the phrase "the party who loses the proceedings" in the context of civil procedure, specifically whether this term refers to the party losing an individual procedural phase (such as first instance) or the final phase of the procedural cycle (appeal or extraordinary appeal), under Articles 13, 83(1), and 87(1) of the Code of Civil Procedure read in conjunction with Article 32. The Court refused to issue the mandatory clarifying decision pursuant to Article 521(3) of the Code of Civil Procedure due to inadmissibility, leaving the lower court's handling of the interpretation issue unresolved by this high court instance.
