The High Court of Cassation and Justice, sitting as a panel for the preliminary ruling on questions of law in criminal matters, dismissed as inadmissible the referral from the Timișoara Court of Appeal, meaning the referral was rejected and no ruling on the underlying legal question was issued. The referral sought a preliminary ruling on whether, under Article 452(1) of the Romanian Code of Criminal Procedure, a request for revision based on Article 453(1)(e) of the same Code may be directed against a final criminal decision that does not resolve the merits of the criminal action. The dismissal was based on procedural admissibility grounds, as the decision is binding from publication in the Official Gazette pursuant to Article 477(3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
