În cazul în care societatea a hotărât, prin hotărâre AGA, demararea acțiunii în răspundere împotriva membrilor organelor sale de conducere, fără a desemna un mandatar special împuternicit cu efectuarea demersului judiciar pentru punerea în aplicare a acestei hotărâri, nu se poate considera că mandatul general de administrator cuprinde, implicit, acest mandat. Prin urmare, acțiunea în justiție promovată de administrator în numele societății, fiind formulată de o persoană care nu prezintă mandatul special cerut de lege, nu respectă cerințele impuse prin art. 155 din Legea nr. 31/1990 cu privire la condițiile speciale ale reprezentării, devenind, astfel, deplin incidente dispozițiile de drept procesual civil referitoare la lipsa dovezii calității de reprezentant, reglementate prin art. 161 C.pr.civ., care impun, în condițiile respectării regimului procesual al excepției, anularea cererii de chemare în judecată. (Înalta Curte de Casație și Justiție, Secția a II-a civilă, Decizia nr. 3726 din 5 noiembrie 2013) -
Aspecte introductive. Motivarea unei hotărâri judecătorești este procesul cognitiv prin care judecătorul, în raport de petitul acțiunii, argumentele părților, probatoriul administrat și dispozițiile legale, elaborează soluția. Motivarea trebuie să înglobeze toate rațiunile ce au dus la edictarea soluției1, expresie a judecății efective a cauzei. Este deci esențial ca soluția pronunțată să aibă la bază o motivare completă, denumită în doctrină ca suficientă (deci nu se urmărește o motivare totală care să răspundă fiecărei susțineri a părților, dar nu se poate accepta o motivare parțială), care să se raporteze cel puțin la fiecare categorie de argumente invocate de părți, prin arătarea rațiunii pentru care a fost reținută respectiva categorie de argumente ori înlăturată.

This study deals with a new institution in the Romanian criminal legislation, namely the plea agreement, which is a deal of the prosecutor with the major defendant concerning the offence, the evidence, the form of guilt and the punishment imposed, all taking the form of a simplified procedure. By combining the theoretical and the practical aspects, the article is of great interest to those who apply the criminal law. Being written in a way which transcends the already known generalities regulated in the Criminal Procedure Code, the study specifically concerns the particularities and the difficulties which accompany the application of this new legal mechanism.

The study contains an analysis of the theoretical and practical aspects concerning the extraordinary judicial remedy of reopening criminal proceedings in case of trial in absence of the convicted person in the light of the new Criminal Procedure Code. First, the author presents the reasons for imposing the establishing of an effective remedy in the positive law through which the person on trial in absentia can obtain a retrial in his presence. Further on, after a review of the evolution of national legislation in the field of safeguards for retrial of the person on trial in contumacy, the author of the study emphasizes the meaning conferred by the Romanian legislator to the notion of „trial in absence”. Similarly, there are treated the conditions and the procedure of reopening the criminal proceedings, the particularities of retrial and, finally, the concurrence between the procedural mechanism of reopening criminal proceedings and other judicial remedies – the appeal and the contestation for annulment. Likewise, the author also makes some proposals de lege ferenda for the purpose of improving the regulation of the analyzed institution and of avoiding the appearance of some non-unitary practices during its application.

Unlike the previous legislation, which did not contain any reference to the progressive offence, the new Criminal Code indicates the time from which the prescription period starts to run for this type of offence, without regulating, however, other aspects referring to the criminal treatment applicable to the acts falling within the legal category in question. This task lays further on case-law and doctrine, but, having regard to the numerous contradictory solutions and controversies noted, some regulations to ensure a uniform settlement of the noticed aspects shall be required, de lege ferenda.

This study examines the regulation of the Civil Code, entered into force on 1 October 2011, in respect of non-essential clauses, standard clauses, external clauses or extrinsic and unusual clauses, in the process of conclusion of contracts. Despite the intention of simplification which the Civil Code had in view, the risks and the issues generated by these legal instruments can be imagined, even in this early stage of its application. Within this analysis, there are also reported some problems, as well as some possible solutions in this respects.

The institution of suspension of the individual labour contract is regulated by Articles 49–54 of the Labour Code (Law No 53/2003, republished on 18 May 2011). More or less recently, the Law No 255/2013 for the implementation of Law No 135/2010 on the Criminal Procedure Code (entered into force on 1 February 2014) and for amending and supplementing some normative acts which include criminal procedural provisions, supplemented the Labour Code (republished) by adding Article 52 (1) c1), pursuant to which the suspension of the individual labour contract occurs (on the employer’s initiative) also „in case the measure of judicial control or of judicial control on bail has been taken against the employee, under the terms of the Criminal Procedure Code, if there have been established, as his duty, obligations which prevent the performance of the labour contract, as well as in case the employee is under house arrest, and the content of the measure prevents the performance of the labour contract”. In this study, the author analyses this new and recently regulated case of suspension of the individual labour contract on the employer’s initiative.

In this study, the author, starting from the provision written down in Article 60 (1) c) of the Labour Code, according to which the dismissal of the pregnant employee is forbidden, as far as the employer was notified of this fact prior to the issuing of the dismissal decision, considers that the interpretation of this legal text should be performed extensively, in correlation with the provisions of Directive 92/85/EEC and, as such, the interdiction in question is also incidental, for example, in cases of dismissal of the employee in the trial period, of hiring the employee under a fixed-term contract or even if she did not notify the employer about her pregnancy condition prior to dismissal, if the failure to notify is not the consequence of bad faith of the person concerned and others.

In the absence of some systematic concerns with significant results, the concept of legal culture still remains at the stage of exploration of its meanings. Starting with its increasing role in the configuration of the law, this study deals with defining the concept, placing it in the context of culture in general and emphasizing the constitutive elements and the main contributions: the history of law, the legal language, the dialogue by means of comparative law, the practice of justice and others. The professional legal cultures and their role occupy an important place in the spiritual concert of society. It is analyzed the legal perception of the concept of culture, the role of scientific research in the matter and the implications of globalization. An outline of the Romanian legal culture in the historical dynamics completes the author’s approach.

The practice of the constitutional jurisdiction court points out that the exercise of the constitutionality control does not lead only to the ruling of some simple solutions, by which the criticized text or texts of the law are found to be or not in compliance with the rules of the Fundamental Law. The complexity of this control, in close connection with the growing complexity of the regulations, but also with the desideratum of legal security, which must be equally considered in exercising the constitutionality control, makes that the solutions of the Constitutional Court be also expressed in different forms. This study makes an analysis of the decisions of the Constitutional Court pertaining to the category circumstantiated by the term „interpretative decisions”, in order to emphasize their importance and their role in the process of constitutionalization of law. Certainly, the achievement of constitutionality control involves, in itself, a process of interpretation and comparison of the constitutional rules and, respectively, of the infraconstitutional ones. Within the interpretative decisions, however, this comparative examination has a greater complexity, constituting an emphasis of more possible interpretations and the identification of the one which complies with the provisions of the Constitution. Such an analysis also raises for discussion the role of the Constitutional Court in the process of interpretation of the legal infraconstitutional rules, an interpretation facilitated by the provisions of the Fundamental Law, its basis and the limits of the jurisdiction of the Court.
