One of the main innovations introduced by the new Criminal Procedure Code is the possibility of concluding a plea bargaining agreement between the defendant and the prosecutor. Where there is evidence to confirm that the defendant is the perpetrator of the deed subject to the criminal trial, and he admits the allegations against him, it is possible for the defendant and the prosecutor to mutually agree on the punishment, the method of execution of punishment, as well as on all other aspects related to the criminal side of the case. In this case, the role of the court will be limited only to verifying whether the concluded agreement fulfils or not the conditions provided by law and to confirm it or to reject it. Through this new institution it will decrease the duration of trials where the evidence produced during the criminal prosecution phase proves almost unequivocally the commission of acts by the defendant, allowing the courts to concentrate their resources on the really complex cases.

After the author has analyzed in a previous study the need to take into account the legitimate defence in the field of cybercrime and has emphasized the aspects of the conditions of the attack, in this material there are analyzed the legitimate retaliation and the state of necessity. In this context, the author has tried to emphasize the problems that may arise in relation to the conditions relating to defence (legitimate retaliation), also seeking to provide a theoretical framework capable of providing applicability to the institution of self-defence. An important aspect analyzed in this paper has been the putative self-defence, which could be a key aspect in the discussion on the legitimate retaliation. Equally, it has been examined inclusively the institution of the state of necessity, also drawing conclusions on the relationship between this institution and the institution of self-defence.

Considered by the authors of the Civil Code of 2009 a „traditional reality in Romania”, currently the engagement has become a „legal reality”, being regulated by Articles 266–270 of the Civil Code. Without „applauding” or „disavowing” the appearance of this unusual legal institution, we find that the reactions of the specialised literature have remained at their „first steps”. However, they are mostly marked by theses from the French doctrine as well, provided that, paradoxically, the French Civil Code, even if it defines the engagement (Article 515–8), does not devote to it other legal rules as well. Wishing to be a contribution to the „continuing effort of interpretation”, this study is based, primarily, on the logical and legal, systematic and systemic analysis of the provisions of Articles 266–270 of the Civil Code.

Prevederile art. 970 alin. 2 C.civ. obligă părțile să execute cu bună-credință nu numai clauzele expres stipulate în convenție, ci și pe toate cele la care obligă echitatea, obiceiul sau legea, după natura obligației. Astfel, în lipsa unei reglementări specifice antecontractului de vânzarecumpărare, dispozițiile alin. 2 al art. 970 C.civ. permit aplicarea dispozițiilor legale incidente vânzării perfecte unui antecontract, întrucât scopul urmărit de părțile din antecontract este încheierea unui contract numit, de vânzare-cumpărare, cu reglementare specială în Codul civil, iar conduita contractuală a părților trebuie să vizeze îndeplinirea tuturor obligațiilor specifice acestui contract numit.

Conform art. 4251 alin. (1) C.pr.pen., calea de atac a contestației se poate exercita numai atunci când legea o prevede expres. Cu toate că dispozițiile art. 278 C.pr.pen. care constituie sediul materiei îndreptării erorilor materiale nu prevăd posibilitatea atacării încheierii cu cale de atac separată, sunt incidente dispozițiile art. 442 și 446 C.pr.civ. prin mijlocirea art. 2 alin. (2) din același act normativ, Codul de procedură civilă, prin generala sa aplicabilitate, reprezentând dreptul comun și în materie procesual penală. Drept urmare, atâta vreme cât legea procesual penală nu interzice expres posibilitatea atacării încheierilor de îndreptare a erorilor materiale pe cale separată, se poate apela la dispozițiile legii procesual civile care reglementează această posibilitate (cu notă critică).

Today the philosophy of law can not be conceived outside the genesis, evolutions, paradigmatic hypostases, connections with the science, the knowledge and the world, of the fundamental conceptual couple philosophy – right. In the contemporary world we are witnessing spectacular changes of paradigm, of models, from the mechanical understanding of the legal order – specific to the modern period – to law as a complexity of high organization, open to others, to totality and to meaning. This means, among other things, the inherence of the philosophical dimension of the law. Therefore, the philosophy of law shall be established as a polycentric, integrative concept connecting together the durable classic axle, namely philosophy (expressed through excellence by its exemplary paradigms) – law (also expressed by its representative paradigms), to the contemporary network of knowledge, to the global society and to the contemporary man, in a specific, critical, open manner, always evolving.
