  • The judicial practice, including that of the Supreme Court, reveals difficulties in applying the sanction of nullity, in particular in case of virtual nullities. In this context, the author shows that it is necessary an applied analysis of the theory of nullity, in order to establish a staging of the judicial approach undertaken for applying this sanction. An interdisciplinary approach for the purpose of establishing the role of the condition of injury in such approach contributes to the avoidance of the confusion of the virtual nullity with the relative one.
  • By a thorough critical study of the provisions of the Law No 8/1996 on copyright and neighbouring rights, the author notes that this Law does not provide an explicit definition of the notion of „work” (of intellectual creation). That being so, in this study, after a legal and linguistic analysis, the author gives in advance his own and complete definition of the notion of „work” (of intellectual creation). The following are further examined: the categories of intellectual creations which do not constitute, however, „works” within the meaning of the Law No 8/1996 and, finally, the substantive conditions for the legal protection of „work” (of intellectual creation), concluding that, under the mentioned aspects, it is required the improvement of some wordings and regulations included in the mentioned law. Key words: work (of intellectual creation); legal regulation; definition of the notion; intellectual creations which do not constitute „works” within the meaning of the Romanian legislation; substantive conditions for the legal protection of the „work”.
  • The problems of compulsory licences in the matter of patents has received a unitary regulation with the signing of the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights – TRIPS Agreement. Likewise, the Doha Declaration (Doha Declaration on the TRIPS Agreement and Public Health) is an important legal reference point because it clarifies a number of practical aspects relating to the compulsory licences in the matter of new medicines both in terms of the production for the domestic market and the import of such products. In the context of the sharp rise in the prices of new medicines, as well as of the constant pressure on the public health insurance budgets, the mechanism of compulsory licences may represent for the patients a new way of access to the new innovative medical therapies. This article discusses the international and European legal framework, with a special focus on the legal regime of compulsory licences in Romania. There are also examined the experiences of other countries in this field, the way of determining the remuneration due to the patent owner, as well as the usefulness of these practices for Romania.
  • The article analyzes the changes brought in the matter of approval of the application for enforcement. In the Civil Procedure Code of 1865, the enforcement court had jurisdiction over the approval of the application for enforcement. By the Law No 459/2006, this jurisdiction has been changed and the power to approve the application for enforcement has been recognized to the court executor. By the Decision of the Constitutional Court No 458/2009, this change was declared unconstitutional and it was restored the approval of the application for enforcement by the enforcement court. By the Law No 134/2010, that is the new Civil Procedure Code, it has been preserved the approval of the enforcement by the enforcement court, however, by the Law No 138/2014, it was restored the form declared unconstitutional. Therefore, we have considered as being predictable the admission of the plea of unconstitutionality of the provisions of Article 666 of the Civil Procedure Code, by the Decision of the Constitutional Court No 895/2015. Following the Decision of the Constitutional Court No 895/2015, it has been adopted the Government Emergency Ordinance No 1/2016, which reinstated to the jurisdiction of the enforcement court the approval of the enforcement applications. In our opinion, the legal and correct solution is the approval of the enforcement by the enforcement court.
  • The regulation (Article 227) of the new Criminal Procedure Code has a partial correspondent in the provisions of Article 146 paragraphs 8 and 111 and Article 1491 paragraphs 9 and 12 of the previous Criminal Procedure Code (1968).

  • In this study, the author has chosen to present and to analyze the offence of abandonment of family, provided in Article 378 (1) c) of the Criminal Code, because, with the stabilization of the judicial practice after the entry into force of the Criminal Code, it has been established a new outlook in respect of the approach of the constitutive elements of the offence and a clarification of the controversial aspects with regard to establishing the ill-intention of the offender.
  • The direct action is a means to settle debts, created in order to protect privileged creditors. Thus, such action must be expressly provided by law. With regard to the lease contracts, the new Civil Code brings a new element, regulating the right of the lessor to hold the sub-lessee liable for the payment of the rent or for the failure to enforce the contract. As the right conferred to the lessor represents a new element within the Romanian doctrine, there is a necessity to perform an extended study of the direct action derived of the lease contract. This study tackles a general analysis of the direct action of the lessor against the sub-lessee from the perspective of the new Civil Code. Furthermore, there are references within the text regarding the old stipulation in relation to the new one. Last but not least, there will be constant references to the French doctrine as well as to the de lege ferenda propositions for the amendment of the texts within the new Civil Code.
  • Faptul că, în cadrul acțiunii în revendicare promovate anterior intrării în vigoare a Legii nr. 10/2001, pârâții au invocat în apărare prevederile art. 45 alin. (2) din acest act normativ, precum și buna-credință de care ar fi dat dovadă la încheierea contractelor de vânzare-cumpărare, nu reprezenta un argument suficient pentru ca instanța să treacă la analiza fondului acestei apărări, după ce aceeași instanță stabilise că legea, în conținutul căreia se regăsește textul de care se prevalau pârâții, nu are incidență în cauză, având în vedere data promovării acțiunii și opțiunea reclamantei, de a continua judecata în condițiile dreptului comun, aspecte ce relevă caracterul contradictoriu al considerentelor hotărârii atacate, fiind astfel incidente dispozițiile art. 304 pct. 7 C.pr.civ.
  • The conditions of appointment of the General Prosecutor and of his deputies have been one of the most disputed topics in the matter of regulation of the status of the Public Ministry. Wishing to give the parties concerned the opportunity to clarify the problem the authors have elaborated a summarizing study on the regulation of this matter in the Member States of the European Union.
  • The regulation (Article 226) of the new Criminal Procedure Code has a corresponding regulation in the provisions of Article 1371 paragraph 1 and Article 1491 paragraphs 9–11 of the previous Criminal Procedure Code (1968), with an exception: the duration of the remand on custody will no longer be deducted from the duration of the preventive detention. The authors analyze the institution of admission of the proposal of preventive detention of the defendant during the criminal prosecution, by presenting some critical aspects and by proposing some improvements to the new regulation.
  • The offences regulated by the Law No 31/1990 on companies form a domain relatively little explored by the criminal law specialists and quasi-unexplored by the civil law specialists. This study deals with those offences grouped within Article 273. These offences have a few specific elements. First, the active subject of the legal rule hypothesis is qualified, namely a person that holds a certain quality of company member. Secondly, the hypothesis of criminal rule contains elements of company law, which can be found in other articles of the Law No 31/1990. By the fact that the hypotheses of the offences provided in Article 273 are part of the company law, first it is the duty of the civil law specialist to decode the meaning of the material rule, because a rigid application of the purely criminal vision in a field of the private law can lead to wrong conclusions, with serious consequences on the subjects of the offences. But, in order to cover the entire interpretative area, the same consideration must be given to the criminal aspects as well, where the role of the criminal law specialist steps in, so that the reader – either a civil law specialist or a criminal law specialist – forms a proper idea about a far too little investigated field.
  • The field „Public Health”, regulated by Article 168 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, is part of the category of fields of competence shared between the Member States and the Union. The decision to subsidize the price of medicines is the result of several factors: technical, financial and political. For this reason, the Union leaves the decision in this field to the discretion of the Member States but, pursuant to the principle of subsidiarity and proportionality, it tries to standardize certain procedural aspects, meant to ensure the free movement of goods and services. In this respect, it has been adopted Directive 89/105/EEC of the Council of 21 December 1988. In order to ensure a better transposition of this directive, in 2014, Romania has fundamentally changed the normative framework regulating the criteria and the procedures by which new medicines are assessed in order to be introduced on the List including the international common names for medicines for insured persons, with or without personal contribution, based on medical prescription, within the health social insurance system (list of subsidized medicines). For the first time it has been introduced the system of inclusion in the list of subsidized medicines conditioned by the conclusion of cost-volume/cost-volume-outcome type contracts. However, as we will further show, the current Romanian legislation in the field of subsidized medicines does not ensure an effective and integral transposition of the European directive, particularly with regard to the compliance with the imperative time limit for adopting the inclusion/non-inclusion decisions provided in Article 6 (1) of the Directive 89/105/EEC of the Council of 21 December 1988. This study deals with the limits of the current normative framework from a theoretical perspective confirmed by the relevant majority case law in the field.
