In this study the authors intend to point out the significant novelties brought in the matter by the Law No 85/2014 on the procedures for preventing insolvency and for insolvency, as compared to the previous regulation (the Law No 85/2006). This being the case, the authors examine the mentioned novelties: (I) as concerns the judgment within the insolvency procedure; (II) with reference to the effects of the insolvency procedure; (III) in the field of reorganization and bankruptcy. Finally, the authors come to the conclusion that the Law No 85/2014 succeeds to cover a series of legislative gaps, to settle some controversial issues in the legal practice and, finally, to provide some equitable solutions where the provisions of the old law (No 85/2006) were rightfully criticized.

The regulation of the movable property mortgage in the new Romanian Civil Code (Articles 2387–2419) was a necessity and it represented an important element of reform in matters of guarantees. The importance of the movable property increases every day, so that the Romanian legislator had to adjust to the permanently changing economic and social requirements. In the opinion of the author and, partly, in disagreement with other authors, the movable property mortgage agreement has the legal nature of a constitutive, unilateral, free, solemn and public agreement, being ancillary to the claim which it guarantees. This paper examines the solemn character, the constitutive character and the free character of the movable property mortgage, because it is only about these characters that the author has some key observations.

Problema executării silite este reglementată în mod sumar în instrumentele europene adoptate în domeniul cooperării judiciare civile, astfel încât, în prezent, această materie este guvernată de principiul teritorialității procedurilor de executare. Aceasta înseamnă că procedurile de executare silită sunt reglementate în principal de legislațiile naționale, instanțele statului membru de la locul de executare dispunând de competență exclusivă pentru rezolvarea tuturor incidentelor rezultate din activitatea de punere în executare silită a titlurilor executorii.

If, from the sociological point of view, business criminal law exists, its scope varies from one author to another, failing to determine which view is correct and which one is not. Business Criminal Law merely reflects the complexity of social relations and the difficulty to clearly separate distinct human activities. We may consider that business criminal law is addressed to professionals in the economic area and appears as a right of synthesis, regrouping common law criminal offences (theft, fraud, breach of trust, etc.), indictments in the field of economic criminal law or financial or tax criminal law and, naturally, indictments in the field of commercial criminal law.

As a sanction for non-compliance of obligations incumbent upon the convict during probation, revocation of the conditional suspension of penalty execution is governed by provisions of art. 83 and 84 of the Criminal Code in force. In recent years, legal practice of law courts in Romania are increasingly raising the question as to the deadline revocation of conditional suspension in case of non-compliance of civil responsibilities may be claimed; additionally, law courts embrace a different approach on the subject of procedural background in terms of admissibility of a claim as such. Taking our stand upon these premises, the review hereby aims to clarify some issues that, amid a weak legal framework, generated inconsistent case law in court activities, along with the above mentioned matters, while high interest was taken into consequences of probation period completion during the case trial. On the strength of a systematic review of relevant provisions in the field, and of a scrupulous comparative analysis of provisions set forth in the new Criminal Code and the new Criminal Procedure Code, the article highlights different cases brought to courts’ attention, the author considering that the claim’s enunciation and obtaining the revocation decision should occur before the probation period is completed and, implicitly, prior to the moment the convict’s rehabilitation de jure supervenes.

The overview hereby analyses provisions of the Supreme Court’s decision no. III/2002, which regulates interpretation and uniform application of provisions of art. 2151 in the Criminal Code regarding the crime of embezzlement committed by the landlords’ or tenants’ association manager in his capacity as employee. The author substantiates, however, that provisions of decision no. III/2002 may not be applicable to managers employed with landlords’ or tenants’ associations lacking legal entity status, whereas these associations may not enter into individual employment contract, which is why the manager is not employed and therefore, not a civil servant, and, likewise, it may not be applicable to managers employed with landlords’ or tenants’ associations on the strength of legal agreement, whereas, in default of an individual employment contract, they are not employed and therefore, not civil servants.
