Along with punishments and educational measures, safety measures are part of the broad criminal sanctions category; however, the latter have a mostly preventive purpose, which is to prevent committing new crimes or other offenses provided by the criminal law. Special confiscation is a safety measure whose legal content is patrimonial, as it concerns certain assets related either to the committed deed or to the offender and which, if further left within the factual and legal circuit, could be used to commit new offenses provided by the criminal law. The mainly preventive aim of the special confiscation safety measure is achieved by the fact that, under the conditions and within the limits prescribed by law, property shall pass free of charge into State ownership so that any person may no longer possess or use them to commit other offenses provided by the criminal law.

The new regulations are designed to eliminate, mainly, the causes for various doctrinal interpretations and non-unitary jurisprudential solutions generated by the ambiguities and gaps of previous legislation in the matter.

Recent legislative interventions have brought important innovations on mediation, and one of them has promoted the sanction of dismissing the claim as inadmissible in case of claimant’s failure to observe the obligation to participate in the briefing on the advantages of mediation. The author determines the conditions for applying this procedural sanction, which he considers extremely severe and even excessive. Inadmissibility for not participating in the briefing is being also examined in the light of the provisions of art. 21 of the Romanian Constitution, regarding the free access to justice and the provisions of art. 6 of the (European) Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. Secondly, the author notes that the sanction of inadmissibility applies only to the claimant.
