Following the entry in force of the Civil Code (Law No.287/2009, republished) on the 1st of October 2011, which repealed the Family Code, the author conducts an extensive analysis of the legal provisions related to the nullity of a marriage, including the causes of nullity, legal regime, nullity consequences between the spouses and between spouses and their children, the competent court and the nullity resolution. This study examines the legal provisions of articles 293-306 of the Civil Code. -
The above study examines the issue of the articles of association and the nullity of the legal entity in the new Romanian Civil Code (adopted by the Parliament, published in the “Official Journal of Romania”, but not yet effective). In dealing with the above-mentioned issue, the author examines the nullity of a company’s articles of association (in Law no. 31/1990 on companies and in the new Civil Code), the effects of a company’s nullity, the legal entity’s nullity – in the current law and in the new Civil Code –, the effects of the legal entity’s nullity, as well as the European source of the legal entity regulation in the new Civil Code (Directive 2009/101/EC, a directive abrogating and replacing the Directive 68/151/EEC). -

For the appeal, which generates, in principle, a new judgment on the merits, given also the finality of exercising the appeal – the nullity of the judgment challenged – it is required another approach to the cases of nullity different than the traditional one in the matter of procedural acts. For the situation of referral of the case for retrial, it is required to argue that it is necessary to specify, in the judgment of referral, where appropriate, the part which is cancelled from the procedure followed by the court of first instance, respectively of the procedural act from which the retrial begins. -
The new Civil Code, unlike the old Code, includes a quasi-complete provision on the invalidity of the contract based on the fundamental distinction between absolute invalidity and relative invalidity. Invalidity - either absolute or relative - can be both complete and partial. Regardless of its form or the way it is established or in which it operates, partial invalidity may appear either as an explicit invalidity, therefore, in the form of clauses declared null or voidable or, more recently, either in the form of clauses deemed unwritten, or as tacit invalidity (obviously partial). In terms of terminology, the phrase or formula “clauses deemed unwritten” is an easy, therefore practical way to designate certain ancillary unlawful clauses which are automatically void. Ratione temporis, partial invalidity, regardless of its form, is and shall remain subject to the law in force at the date of conclusion of the contract and not to the law in force at the date the invalidity was determined or that when the contract was cancelled and neither subject to the law in force at the date the parties are reinstated to the previous status. -
Potrivit art. 335 alin. (1) C.pr.pen., dacă procurorul ierarhic superior celui care a dispus soluția constată, ulterior, că nu a existat împrejurarea pe care se întemeia clasarea, infirmă ordonanța și dispune redeschiderea urmăririi penale. Dispozițiile art. 317 se aplică în mod corespunzător. Conform art. 280 alin. (2) C.pr.pen., actele îndeplinite ulterior actului care a fost declarat nul sunt la rândul lor lovite de nulitate, atunci când există o legătură directă între acestea și actul declarat nul. Articolul 346 alin. (3) lit. a) C.pr.pen. prevede că judecătorul de cameră preliminară restituie cauza la parchet dacă rechizitoriul este neregulamentar întocmit, iar neregularitatea nu a fost remediată de procuror în termenul prevăzut la art. 345 alin. (3), dacă neregularitatea atrage imposibilitatea stabilirii obiectului sau limitelor judecății (cu notă aprobativă). -

In terms of the decision not to initiate criminal proceedings, ordered by the Prosecutor during the stage of preliminary documents, it is mandatory to communicate the decision to the prejudiced person, indicter and perpetrator, if known, and the deadline of 20 days for filing the complaint with the Prosecutor’s Office runs from the date of serving the decision. For the people who consider themselves injured as to their legitimate interests by the adoption of the decision not to initiate court proceedings, there is neither the obligation, nor the opportunity for the communication thereof and, in this case, the 20-day deadline for filing the complaint against the decision runs from the date on which the person entitled was informed, in any way, about the adoption of the decision in question. -
In this article, the author discusses the issue of limitation of the exercise of certain rights and freedoms, as debated and regulated by the Constituent Assembly in 1991. There are analyzed in detail the theses for the draft Constitution that set out the constitutional conditions for which compliance is imperative, so that the Romanian State and the Romanian Parliament be able to make the decision of limiting some rights or freedoms of the citizens. The author gives a significant consideration to presenting the philosophy of the constitutional norm that recognizes the State’s right to limit under certain circumstances the exercise of some fundamental rights and freedoms of the Romanian citizens. It is noted that constitutional limitation of the some rights or freedoms of the citizens fully complies with the European doctrine of constitutional law and of the judicial practice of ECHR.

Se știe că, în materie represivă, prescripția produce un îndoit efect, acel de a stinge acțiunea publică și cea civilă, care izvorăște dintr’o crimă, delict sau contravenție polițienească (art. 593–595 C.pr.pen.), și acel de a stinge pedeapsa pronunțată de tribunalele represive art. (596–598 C.pr.pen.). Pentru a se justifica aceste dispoziții s’au dat mai multe motive, asupra căror vom reveni mai târziu tot în coloanele acestui ziar, când vom expune considerațiile generale asupra prescripției penale. Destul este să spunem deocamdată că motivul cel mai puternic și poate singurul motiv ce se poate invoca în specie este că societatea nu are nici un interes a pedepsi o infracțiune a cărei amintire este ștearsă. Legea penală nu vorbește de suspendarea prescripției, ci numai de întreruperea ei. Actele întreruptive consistă, când este vorba de prescrierea acțiunei publice, în acte de instrucțiune și de urmărire (art. 593 C.pr.pen.). Vom vederea îndată care sunt actele întreruptive de prescripție când este vorba de prescrierea executărei pedepselor. -
