The High Court of Cassation and Justice dismissed the appeal in the interest of the law filed by the Board of the Bucharest Court of Appeal as inadmissible. The legal issue concerned whether Decree-Law No. 118/1990, specifically Article 1(2)(b), extends compensation rights to individuals who were enlisted in the Hungarian army and taken prisoner by Soviet forces after August 23, 1944, or those held in captivity before that date who remained in detention thereafter. The court’s ruling, issued on March 25, 2024, under Article 517(4) of the Civil Procedure Code, leaves the lower court’s prior determination unchanged, rejecting the challenge to the statutory interpretation of the rights granted to persons persecuted for political reasons by the post-1945 dictatorship.
