Romania (RO)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed as inadmissible the referral from the Galați Tribunal seeking a preliminary ruling on whether a fully adopted child, who before the adoption had established family relations and was cared for by the surviving parent together with the politically persecuted parent who died before the adoption was granted, falls within the category of persons entitled to the allowance under art. 5 para. (5¹) of Decree-Law no. 118/1990 on granting rights to persons persecuted for political reasons by the dictatorship established on 6 March 1945, and to those deported abroad or taken prisoner. The court did not rule on the merits of the legal question, and the referral was rejected as inadmissible under art. 521 para. (3) of the Civil Procedure Code, meaning the referring court's application for a preliminary ruling was not accepted, and no interpretative decision was issued on the eligibility of adopted children for the allowance.
