Based on the “monistic” nature of the current Romanian Civil Code (Law no. 287/2009, republished, entered into force on October 1, 2011) this study concludes that currently one can further discuss the existence of a “commercial law” in Romania, but only if it is no longer designed as an autonomous branch of the private law (in relation to civil law), but only as a component of the professionals’ law which, in turn, is a division (an integral part) of the Romanian civil law. -
The institution of course of justice interruption was first introduced in the criminal procedure of Romania in the Charles II Code of Criminal Procedure (1936), being kept in the current Code of Criminal Procedure [Art. 29 point 5 item b)] and also in the new Code of Criminal Procedure adopted by Law No. 135/2010 [Art. 40 paragraph (4)]. The author shows that the Romanian legislator failed to clarify this phrase, leaving the identification of the cases of interrupting the course of justice to the legal literature, but especially to the case law. The case law of the High Court of Cassation and Justice may conclude that the “interrupting the course of justice” phrase requires the occurrence of a criminal case pending before a court of law which has no possibility of achieving the ultimate goal of the trial due to inapplicability of any of the procedural provisions relating to jurisdiction, so that the competent court to order a legal solution cannot be determined.

Cerinţa interesului de a fi actual trebuie îndeplinitã pe tot parcursul procesului, iar nu numai la momentul introducerii acþiunii. Astfel, în cazul în care pe parcursul procesului acþiunea promovatã de reclamant rãmâne fãrã interes, demersul procesual, iniþial justificat, rãmâne fãrã o finalitate practicã din punct de vedere juridic, soluţia consacratã jurisprudenţial în atare situaţii fiind aceea a respingerii acţiunii ca rãmasã fãrã interes (Înalta Curte de Casaţie şi Justiţie, Secţia comercialã, decizia nr. 2623 din 13 septembrie 2011).

The European Union law principles can be source of Community law, as they have the same rank as the treaties in the hierarchy of the EU law sources. These principles are compulsory both for the EU institutions and the Member States. These binding principles include the principle of legality of indictment and punishment. Therefore, whenever a Community act requires Member States to establish punishments to be used in the event an offense provided for in that act, they must comply with. There are also some exceptions to this rule (the compulsoriness for the European Union Member States): the criminal liability of the person who committed the offense cannot be determined nor can be aggravated by breaching the Community act independently of a domestic law adopted by a Member State in view of its implementation. In this study, the authors analyze the exceptions to the principle of legality of indictment and punishment, which have a particular interest in criminal matters, given the contradictions in the Romanian and foreign criminal doctrine.
