Article 322 section 5, second phrase of the (Romanian) Code of Civil Procedure provides that review of a final and binding decision in the Appellate Court or non-appealed and of a ruling passed by a court of last resort upon merits called forth may be requested „whether, following the rendering of the decision, a court order which grounded the decision under review claimed was abated or amended.” The author, in light of the practice of the European Court of Human Rights, considers that the purport should be interpreted narrowly. Accordingly, the scope of Article 322 section 5, second phrase of the (Romanian) Code of Civil Procedure may cover uncertified court orders exclusively (referred to as binding) because only these can be amended / abated under appeal or recourse, and not judgments passed within right of review procedures such as review or appeal for annulment, on account of complying with the principle of legal certainty. -
În legislaþia românã, oportunitatea manifestãrii procurorului în procedura insolvenþei aparþine în exclusivitate acestuia ºi se înscrie în liniile directoare oferite de art. 45 alin. (3) C.pr.civ. Legea nr. 85/2006 nu prevede obligativitatea comunicãrii Ministerului Public a hotãrârii de deschidere a procedurii, iar procurorul nu este titular al acþiunii în acoperirea pasivului. Autorul considerã cã instituirea obligaþiei procurorului de a participa ºi pune concluzii în procedurã ar asigura o apãrare eficientã a ordinii publice, oferind premisele înfãptuirii unei justiþii plenare, în care atât interesele de ordin privat, cât ºi cele generale ar fi ocrotite. „De lege ferenda”, se propune participarea obligatorie a procurorului la acþiunea în acoperirea pasivului.

Where other civil parties call for broadening the effect of declared appeal on the criminal side of the case and on other civil parties, and as far as conditions applying the extensive effect of the appeal are fulfilled, the judicial review court is bound to give effect to the provisions of Art. 373 in the C. Cr. Pr., obviously complying with the principle of non reformatio in pejus. The author argues that a contrary approach would be vulnerable and devoid of legal grounds, intended to set off the extensive effect of appeal from its purposes, which basically leads to the functional requirement of a court of appeal, consisting in examination of the case by extension, to be circumscribed to appeal statements. Thus, argues the author, it would add unacceptably to the law by way of interpretation, contrary to the principle of ubi lex non distinguit nec nos distinguere debemus.

The criminal trial can be defined as the activity regulated by law, carried out by the criminal judicial bodies, so that persons having committed criminal offenses are brought to account for criminal liability and criminal penalties are imposed. Criminal trial aims to account for criminal liability persons who have committed criminal offences (i.e. achievement of the conflict criminal legal relationship), imposition of criminal penalties and their enforcement. The criminal trial phase is a division thereof, in which operate a particular category of judicial bodies in carrying out tasks that fall within their procedural position (to seek, to judge or to execute the decision), and following its exhaustion a particular solution on the criminal case may be rendered. The author reveals that, under the current Romanian legislation, the criminal trial covers three phases: prosecution, adjudication and enforcement of judgments (according to the Romanian doctrine, although the Code of Criminal Procedure in force entitles „Enforcement of Criminal Judgments” Title III of the Special Part). Under the new Code of criminal procedure rules, the criminal trial covers four phases: prosecution, the preliminary chamber, adjudication and enforcement of criminal judgments.

Formal validity of an arbitration agreement is closely linked to the consent of the parties to arbitration. The requirement of arbitration agreement in written form is intended to ensure that the parties actually agreed on resolving the dispute through arbitration. Therefore, matters related to the performance of formal requirements of arbitration agreement and the necessary approval for arbitration, expressed under the arbitration agreement, are often interrelated and jointly approached. In accordance with the Convention of New-York (1958), the arbitration agreement enforcement, and of any other decision, requires an arbitration agreement concluded in writing. The formal requirements do not necessarily promote legal certainty, frequently being sources of circumstantial disputes. For these reasons, the requirement of arbitration agreement in written form, in most national laws and under the Convention in New York, was more liberally construed. In any case, the requirements of the arbitration agreement to be concluded in written form should be construed more dynamically, in the light of modern means of communication.
