By critically analyzing the foundation of the civil contract, in light of the provisions of the current Romanian Civil Code, in relation to the modern Western European legal doctrine, and by insisting on some obsolete and/or contradictory legal regulations of the new Romanian Civil Code, the author of this study, on the one hand, considers that the principle pacta sunt servanda has presently become a myth, that we are witnessing the constant decline of the autonomy of will in matters of civil contracts and, at the same time, a series of new developments as regards the limits of the contractual freedom, the legal regulation of unpredictability in the new Romanian Civil Code (Article 1271) being relevant in this respect. Finally, the author believes that the current Romanian Civil Code (of 2009) contains a number of inconsistencies and contradictory regulations under the mentioned aspects, for which reason he proposes, in conclusion, the recast of the Code as soon as possible, taking into account the numerous failures thereof.

Ever since the date of its publication in the Official Gazette of Romania, Part I, the Law No 241/2005 has become a highly debated law in the doctrine, many of its articles underlying inhomogeneous judicial decisions. Article 10 of the above-mentioned Law was one of the Articles which excelled by its lack of predictability, a fact which lead to raising a large number of pleas of unconstitutionality. Over time, its applicability has received some clarifications however, even today, some aspects still raise controversies and continue to lead to an inhomogeneous judicial practice. For this reason, the author believes that the intervention of the High Court of Cassation and Justice would be more than welcome.

The idea of this study has been inspired by obviously modest doctrinaire concerns in connection with the analysis of the legal regulations dedicated to the legal protection of „databases”. In fact, in the specialized literature, as a rule, the approaches usually do not exceed the level of reproduction of the regulations in the field or the subject is simply avoided. Probably this situation is determined, mostly, by the redundant style of wording the provisions of Articles 1221–1224 of the Law No 8/1996 on copyright and neighbouring rights and the provisions of Directive No 96/9/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the legal protection of databases. This normative situation should represent the spring of some normative doctrinaire measures deeply studied and it should by no means demobilize the analysis of the problems in the matter.

Introducing the provision on the administrative measure of non-voluntary hospitalization, provided in Article 315 (2) e) of the Criminal Procedure Code, has created confusion with regard to the cases in which this measure applies and to the cases in which the safety measure of medical hospitalization applies and, likewise, with regard to the jurisdiction of the court which orders one of these measures to be taken.
