ACȚIUNEA ÎN CONTESTAȚIA FILIAȚIEI ÎN REGLEMENTAREA CODULUI CIVIL (LEGEA NR. 287/2009)

Under the rule of the Romanian Family Code (effective between 1 February 1954 – 30 September 2011) the admissibility issue concerning the action for contesting filiation was controversial. The new Romanian Civil Code (Law no. 287/2009, republished on 15 July 2011 and entered into force on 1 October 2011) settles the discussion whilst expressly regulating (in art. 421) “the action for contesting filiation”. In this study the author makes a thorough analysis of this purport.
