In essence, the article emphasizes the inconsistent practice of the courts, as regards the consequences of changing the legal classification of the criminal offence – the subject matter of the judgment – by indictment, an action of initiating proceedings before the court, on the means of appeal in the criminal trial. The legal matter under discussion takes into consideration the impact of the provisions of art. 361, paragraph 1, letter a) of the Criminal Procedure Code and of art. 3851 paragraph 1, letter d1 of the Criminal Procedure Code, according to which the judgments regarding criminal offences for which the initiation of criminal procedure is carried out following the preliminary complaint of the injured person cannot be challenged with an appeal, but only with a second appeal . Thus, in relation to the new legal classification of the criminal offence – the subject matter of the judgment – the means of appeal that can be used in such criminal cases must be established. In our opinion, in case of changing the legal classification, the legal classification given to the criminal offence – the subject matter of the judgment – by the court whose decision is subject to judicial review is decisive in establishing the means of appeal. -
În versiunea originalã a Convenţiei (europene) pentru apãrarea drepturilor omului şi a libertãţilor fundamentale (în continuare denumitã Convenţia), moartea nu putea fi cauzatã unei persoane în mod intenţionat, decât în executarea unei sentinţe capitale pronunţate de un tribunal pentru o infracţiune sancţionatã prin lege cu o asemenea pedeapsã. Astfel, pedeapsa cu moartea nu era interzisã, cu condiţia respectãrii principiului legalitãţii, aceasta şi datoritã faptului cã în acel timp (data semnãrii, respectiv data intrãrii în vigoare a acestui document), în majoritatea statelor membre ale Consiliului Europei pedeapsa cu moartea era stipulatã în legislaţiile penale interne2.

În condiþiile în care nu existã, în prezent, dispoziþii general aplicabile în legislaþia privind circulaþia juridicã a terenurilor, care sã reglementeze dreptul de preemþiune ca o condiþie de nulitate a actului de înstrãinare încheiat cu încãlcarea acestui drept, legiuitorul a lãsat în atributul legilor speciale sã reglementeze dreptul de preemþiune, în funcþie de natura juridicã a bunului. În cazul arendei, la data încheierii contractului de arendã, ca ºi în prezent, dreptul de preemþiune nu este reglementat de lege ca un impediment legal în transmiterea cãtre o altã persoanã a dreptului de proprietate, ci ca un drept contractual al arendaºului.

The criminal offences against the safety of railway traffic are provided for in the new Criminal Code under Title VII “Criminal Offences against Public Safety”, Chapter I. Taking into account the critical observations expressed in our doctrine, starting with the year 2006, the lawmaker has amended and supplemented both two criminal offences as regards their names, and the content of the others. Regarding the content of criminal offences, we mention that the amendments made refer both to the capacity of active subject and to that of passive subject, which this time may belong to the employees of both State-owned and private-owned operators. Nevertheless, when identifying the most important social values and, subsequently, protecting them by means of criminal law rules, the lawmaker did not take into consideration the current legislation, both domestic and of the European Union regarding the safety of railway traffic and transports. Thus, the most important European and domestic regulations in this field, which had to be taken into consideration in the activity of legal individualization of criminal law penalties, are the Directive 2004/49/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 (the Railway Safety Directive) and Law no. 55/2006 on railway safety. The critical observations and the proposals made by the author refer precisely to the need to adapt the Romanian railway safety legislation to the European Union legislation.

The criminal offence of compromising the interests of justice, according to the new regulation, refers in particular to the respect and authority that needs to be attached to the performance of the act of justice, and such performance is protected by criminal law in two manners, both as regards the criminal offences committed by persons from outside the judicial system in the capacity of unqualified active subjects, and against the “abuses” of any nature committed, on the one hand, by the persons called to perform the act of justice and, on the other hand, by the public servants who, as a result of their work duties, learn about the producing of any evidence, the existence of any means of proof or official documents, which, by their disclosure or revealing, could obstruct or prevent the criminal proceeding, or could influence the order of a solution in the criminal proceeding stage.

Law no. 230/2007 on the establishment, organization and functioning of the owners’ associations, stipulates in art. 15: “Subject to a 5-day notice, the owner is obliged to accept the access to its apartment or to its space of a representative of the association, when it is necessary to inspect, repair or replace elements in joint ownership, which can be accessed only from the given apartment or space. Emergency situations, when access is possible without notice, shall be exempted”. In the above study, the author initially examines this text in relation to art. 27 of the Constitution of Romania regarding the inviolability of the home. Further on, he examines the requirements imposed by the same text for its legal enforcement; the situations in which the owner’s refusal to allow access – although the legal requirements are met – is an abuse of right and, in the end, other legal possibilities for the association dealing with the owner’s unjustified refusal to allow access. -
Dealing with the issue of the Romanian judge, as a guarantor of the public international law enforcement, the author discusses: the issue of the Romanian judge’s power to interpret the conventional international law; issues regarding difficulties in the enforcement of the public international law by the Romanian courts due to the absence of similar internal rules; decisions of the international courts of justice and their effects on the internal legal proceedings (Romanian).

The author examines the deviated offence in the broader framework of the real and not apparent plurality of offences. The author considers, contrary to the opinion expressed by the other Romanian authors, that for both its main forms – error in personam and aberratio ictus – the correct solution should be that of the concurrence of offences (an attempted offence in the representation of the perpetrator and an offence committed by fault) if in relation to the circumstances of the case, the defendant could and should have foreseen the actual result.

In this article, the author asserts with scientific and text arguments that, anytime art. 911 of the Criminal Procedure Code is interpreted as allowing the wire tapping or recording of calls or communications outside the criminal trial (namely without even starting in rem the criminal prosecution in rem), namely in the stage of preliminary acts, this is unconstitutional.

This article presents, in a comparative manner, the solutions provided for various complaints and the arguments they are based on, from the recent practice of the Council and the control courts, some of the given solutions and arguments exceeding the limit established by legal norms, in the opinion of the author commenting on them.
