Panel composition set by lot for preliminary ruling on split administrative and civil jurisdiction

The High Court of Cassation and Justice (Înalta Curte de Casaţie şi Justiţie), sitting as the Panel for the resolution of questions of law, issued a procedural ruling on 15 April 2024, determining the composition of the panel for case file No. 68/1/2024 by drawing lots. The ruling establishes that the legal question presented is of interest to both the Administrative and Fiscal Litigation Section and the Second Civil Section, and, pursuant to Article 520(8) of the Civil Procedure Code and Article 35(1) of the Court’s internal regulations, the panel composition will be set accordingly. No substantive decision was rendered on the merits of the legal issue; the order merely regulates the panel's composition for the preliminary ruling procedure, with no party prevailing at this stage.
