  • Article 78 of the Civil Procedure Code, paradoxically, evokes through its title an apparent exception to the principle of availability, however, through its content, it constitutes a confirmation of this principle. Given this apparent contradiction, it must be clarified whether, in the case provided in Article 78 (2) of the Civil Procedure Code, the party requesting the introduction of the third party in the trial after the judge has questioned the necessity of its introduction may formulate any new heads of claim involved in the enlargement, in this way, of the procedural framework. Also due to the phrase „ex officio” attached to this introduction, it must be concluded whether, for these possible new heads of claim, related to the introductory request, the requesting party must pay judicial stamp duty or, due to this reference to officiality, the party is exempted from such obligation. It must also be established whether to these new heads of claim it can be opposed the exception implied by the sanction of loss, referred to in Article 204 of the Civil Procedure Code, in the conditions in which they would be related to the introductory request.
  • We have taken into account that there have been several discussions with regard to medical legal liability, related to such a domain of maximum sensitivity, which is why the regulation of this form of liability is fully justified. Thus, medicine, being a social activity, cannot be deprived of a legal regulation that would protect the interests and rights of both the medical staff and, especially, of the patients. The liability based on the medical error cannot be one of an objective type, because, in principle, the doctor’s obligation is one of diligence and in rare cases it is one of result; depending on this aspect, at the time when the doctor guarantees a certain result, expressly expressed by him, his mistake will have an objective foundation. There have been doctrinal controversies in order to correctly qualify the type of liability that can be engaged depending on several factors, liability that may be civil tort, contractual, civil special or professional one, as appropriate. We have considered necessary to emphasize that the foundation of liability is represented by the relations established between the patient and the doctor, between the patient and the units providing medical services, units that can be in the public medical service or circumscribed to some private forms of practising medicine.
  • As it is well known, the insolvency procedure involves the collaboration of the insolvent company, of the syndic judge, of the creditors and, of course, of the judicial administrator. Once the state of insolvency is established by the court, one of the first steps is to assess the debts of the insolvent company, and this action can be done only by communicating the state of insolvency to the creditors, in order to allow them to record their claims to the company. At this stage, an important role is that of the judicial administrator, who must work with all those involved in the procedure in order to determine the amounts owed to the creditors. The judicial administrator is not limited to receiving the creditors’ requests. He must analyze each claim, must establish the amount claimed and ascertain whether that claim is based on a valid title
  • Simplification and debureaucratization, in many cases, indeed, lead to a positive result. However, the complexity and apparent bureaucratization of some institutions and procedures, in many cases, have a well-defined, useful, even necessary role. The elimination of functional and strict requirements may drive the expected rationalization but an undesirable adverse effect: dysfunctions and legal uncertainty. These ideas can be best illustrated by the recent amendment of the Law No 31/1990 on companies, through Law No 23/2020 for the simplification and debureaucratization of the transfer of shares („social parts”) and the payment of the share capital. Unfortunately, in recent years, the limited liability company has become a subject of experimentation for different improvement attempts, without noticing that companies’ legal regime is an organic whole. Most of the time, reforms are well-intentioned but distorted by enduring normative realities. They also distort the existing law: as is currently the case with share capital and shares transfer.
  • The formation of public law in the Romanian Principalities bears, on the one hand, the imprint of the political will of the states with strong influence in this part of Europe in the first half of the 19th century, and, on the other hand, it reflects the spirit of Western constitutional thought and practice, much modernized after the French Revolution of 1789. Concerned with the constitutional and administrative modernization of the two Principalities were mainly Russia, France, England and Austria, each of these great European powers pursuing, in fact, their own objectives, of political and economic nature. Instead, Turkey did not support at all the modernization of Wallachia and Moldova, being interested in maintaining the Phanariot regime. At the confluence of the contradictory interests of these powers, the Principalities did not have an active, decisive role in their own constitutional and administrative modernization. Nevertheless, the changes and transformations produced in the Principalities at the initiative and with the determination of the mentioned states, were generated by the clauses of some international documents (the Treaty of Adrianople of 1829, the Peace Treaty between Russia and Turkey of 1856 and the Paris Convention of 1858). To these it is added the Developing Statute of the Paris Convention, imposed by the will of Prince Alexandru Ioan Cuza
  • This doctoral research investigates the case law development of the principle of loyalty within the framework of the invisible constitution theory. Uncodified counterpart of written constitutional rules, the invisible constitution belongs to a broader understanding of the concept, specifically the constitution in its material sense. Contemporary examples are found within the British constitutional order (e.g. constitutional conventions and case law), the French bloc de constitutionnalité (i.e. complementary unwritten rules) and the case law of the Hungarian Constitutional Court (i.e. the Sólyom model). Assuming a national invisible constitution exists, the paper aims to demonstrate that the principle of loyal cooperation belongs to such an invisible dimension of the Romanian constitutional order.
  • The article addresses the problems concerning the crime of child pornography, in general, but it also includes some special emphasis on the legal implications which the conduct of the minor who makes pornographic materials with his own person, without being coerced by another person, might have. The analysis is one based on arguments from the specialized literature, but also on solutions from the judicial practice. In particular, the author proposes the recognition of existence, in the case of the crime of child pornography, in all its forms, of a special main legal object aiming at the need to respect the public order and peace, and, in particular, of a secondary object formed of the social relations referring to the protection of minors and of t he social relations whose proper development is conditioned by defending the public morality. With regard to the special issue caused by the minor’s act of producing, storing, possessing or distributing strictly in private pornographic materials of himself, the author rightfully considers that this act should not be subject to criminal liability, but rather to the psychological counselling of the minor with regard to the implications of the beginning and the development of the sexual life and, respectively, of the consequences that such deeds may have on the normal sexual development of the child.
  • The study addresses the issue generated by the express regulation of the principle of loyalty in matters of evidence, especially from the perspective of the incidence of the sanction of exclusion of evidence in the cases where this principle has been violated. The author notes that, in general, legality and loyalty in the administration of evidence means the idea of honesty which the judicial bodies must show when constructing evidence, and the violation of these principles generates the solution of applying the sanction of exclusion of evidence. In addition, the article deals also with an aspect of these problems that has not yet received a unitary solution in the national doctrine and case law, respectively that of the existence of a conditionality between the incidence of the sanction of exclusion of evidence on the fault of judicial bodies in the illegal administration of evidence. With theoretical arguments and with examples from the practical activity of the courts, the author shows that the solutions are, on the one hand, in the sense of excluding evidence, and, on the other hand, in the sense of validating them, the court rulings being determined in these cases precisely by the finding of the good faith of the criminal investigation body.
  • The premises for the adoption of the Decree No 195/2020 on the establishment of the state of emergency in Romania were the evolution of the epidemiological situation in Romania and the assessment of public health risk for the next period, which indicates a massive increase in the number of people infected with SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, having regard to the fact that failure to take urgent, exceptionally social and economic measures to limit SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus infection among the population would have a particularly serious impact, mainly on the right to life, and, in the alternative, on the right to health of individuals
  • Due to the pandemic shaking the world in 2020, law enforcement and military authorities also faced the serious strain of often new or substantially larger than usual volumes of assignments. The workload of border police, public security, immigration authorities and administrative bodies has increased radically, but the Armed Forces are also strongly involved in performing the tasks. During the state of emergency and the following health crisis declared in Hungary, legislative rules differing notably from the „normal” legal order were introduced, affecting our daily lives, work, relationships, and of course, the lives and services of the officers working for the authorities subject to our study. In this document, we analyse the major changes affecting the „armed” sector within the legal framework related to the pandemic, and – due to its dogmatic interest – the hospital command system developed for the increased protection of healthcare supplies is also covered
