The proposed study aims, in particular, at questionable normative aspects concerning „the action for nullity of the registration of the trademark” in the regulation of the Law No 84/1998 on trademarks and geographical indications. In fact, contrary to the reference that some texts of this law make to „the nullity of the registration of the trademark” or to „the cancellation of the trademark”, the nullity has as object the „administrative legal act of the State Office for Inventions and Trademarks of registration of the trademark”. Likewise, it argues on the uselessness of some rules devoted to this action at law. -
In this study, the authors present a commentary of Article 145 of the Constitution, referring to the independence and the irremovability of the judges of the Constitutional Court. It is presented, in detail, the normative will of the Constituent Assembly on the status of the constitutional judges, the content of their independence and the irremovability which was conferred to them by the constitutional text. The judges of the Constitutional Court have at their disposal a legal framework, of constitutional rank, which guarantees their independence and irremovability and which, at the same time, imposes restrictions of professional nature. Within the same study, the authors also present the problems of the disciplinary and criminal liability of the constitutional judges, as well as the legal regime of immunity which they enjoy, according to the Law No 47/1992 on the organization and functioning of the Constitutional Court.

The article analyzes the cassation recourse, which is an extraordinary judicial remedy in the criminal trial, a reformative and devolutive judicial remedy, in principle a non-suspensive of enforcement and extensive judicial remedy. The purpose of the cassation recourse is to ensure a uniform practice at the level of the entire country. In order to achieve this purpose, the legislator has expressly provided the reasons for which a cassation recourse may be promoted, the jurisdiction for settlement, the subjects for which the possibility to exercise the judicial remedy is recognized and the solutions which the court can pronounce. The usefulness of the cassation recourse is fully emphasized, given the fact that the recourse would no longer exist within the Romanian criminal procedure system subsequently to the entry into force of the new Criminal Procedure Code.

Competența teritorială de soluționare a acțiunii având ca obiect constatarea valabilității unei convenții încheiate cu privire la un imobil și pronunțarea unei hotărâri care să țină loc de act autentic [fiind vorba deci despre o acțiune personală imobiliară, prin care reclamantul tinde la valorificarea unui drept personal, respectiv dreptul de creanță corelativ obligației de a face, urmare antecontractului încheiat cu privire la acel imobil] nu se stabilește potrivit art. 117 C.pr.civ., aplicabil exclusiv acțiunilor reale imobiliare, ci potrivit dispozițiilor de drept comun ale art. 107 C.pr.civ., conform cărora cererea se face la instanța domiciliului pârâtului. Însă, întrucât aceste norme sunt de competență relativă, nesocotirea lor poate fi invocată pe calea excepției de necompetență numai de către pârât și numai până la prima zi de înfățișare, în caz contrar instanța sesizată rămânând competentă să judece litigiul, ca urmare a decăderii pârâtului din dreptul de a invoca o excepție relativă, excepție pe care instanța nu are dreptul să o invoce din oficiu.

Regulile de concurență prevăzute de Tratatul privind funcționarea Uniunii Europene2 au menirea de a proteja relațiile comerciale și piața internă. Întrebarea la care răspunde studiul de față este: cine este destinatarul normelor concurențiale la nivelul Uniunii Europene? Răspunsul, deși aparent este unul foarte scurt și se referă la întreprindere (și asociațiile de întreprinderi), totuși ascunde o doctrină bogată și o jurisprudență generoasă a Curții de Justiție a Uniunii Europene. În cele ce urmează, vom analiza noțiunea de întreprindere, care are o anumită sferă de aplicare în dreptul concurențial al Uniunii Europene, cu scopul de a determina care sunt jucătorii principali vizați de normele care protejează concurența pe piața internă.

La data de 20 octombrie 2014, Înalta Curte de Casație și Justiție (ÎCCJ) – Completul pentru dezlegarea unor chestiuni de drept a soluționat trei cauze cercetând „problema de drept ce formează obiectul acțiunii privind caracterul discriminatoriu al dispozițiilor cuprinse în Ordonanța de urgență a Guvernului nr. 9/2013 privind timbrul de mediu pentru autovehicule, aprobată cu modificări și completări prin Legea nr. 37/2014, cu modificările ulterioare, în raportare la dispozițiile comunitare cu care intră în conflict”1 și „dacă dispozițiile art. 4 din Ordonanța de urgență a Guvernului nr. 9/2013 privind timbrul de mediu pentru autovehicule, aprobată cu modificări și completări prin Legea nr. 37/2014, și ale art. 1 alin.

In this article there have been examined comparatively the provisions of the law in force and those of the previous law, by emphasizing the elements of similarity and of distinction between the two regulations. Likewise, the author has critically examined the provisions of Article 336 (1) of the Criminal Code, also making in this regard de lege ferenda proposals designed to determine the amendment of the current provisions. The de lege ferenda proposal aims to the legislator's abandonment of the provision according to which the moment of consummation of the offence is identified with moment of taking the biological samples, motivated by the fundamental difference existing between the two moments, especially with regard to the criminal liability. The paper can be useful to the legislator, in the light of the suggested amendments, to the practitioners, as well as to all those who show concerns in this field.

In this study it is subjected for analysis the offence of driving a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or of other substances provided by the Criminal Code in Article 336. The reason for the author's choice of this topic is determined by the fact that a more increasing number of persons commit this type of offence, as well as because the offence has suffered most of the amendments since the entry into force of the new Criminal Code up to the present day, the most important amendment being the one operated by declaring the Article 336 of the Criminal Code unconstitutional.

This study first analyzes the amendments brought to the offence provided in Article 141 of the Law No 8/1996 by the Law No 187/2012. The author emphasizes the non-correlations of the incrimination with the moral copyrights which it protects, as well as the lack of clear and precise wordings, which should exclude any ambiguity in the drafting of the incriminating rules. The analysis of the offence provided in the special law is connected to the provisions in the matter contained in the Criminal Code, as well as to the doctrinaire opinions expressed in the field. The critical remarks expressed by the author concerning the meaning of legal rules are intended to be impulses addressed to the legislator to correct the drafting of texts, in order to achieve the desideratum of compliance with the requirements of accessibility and foreseeability of the law for its addressees.
