The current Civil Code advances a detailed regulation of the reparation of damage in case of tort liability, the most important matter of this institution. Being of deep impact in practice, the need for clarity of the new legal provisions is greater than in any other area of regulation. The study proposes their text analysis, emphasizing some shortcomings of the legal terminology used, of the systematization of the matter, but there are reported, in particular, some questionable solutions contrary to the European trends in matters of tort liability. -
Both at Community level and at national level, there is the concern to allow the employees the possibility of a conciliation of the professional life with the private life, one of the measures regulated in this respect being the leave for raising a child, provided by the Government Emergency Ordinance No 111/2010. The exercise of this right can not be a reason to treat the employee differently or to affect his professional evolution, as the law guarantees the stability of the labour relation for the duration of the leave and subsequently, as well as the right to be reinstated to the same position or to an equivalent one. However, the national legislation also contains provisions which are lacking clarity, does not fully transpose the Community law in the field, so that it is required an improvement of this legislation and a greater flexibility in regulating of the situation of the labour relation for the duration of the leave for raising a child.

The problematical issues concerning the documents issued by the President of Romania in exercising his constitutional and legal powers and the settlement of disputes derived from these documents have been less discussed in the literature of speciality. Starting from this reality, this study intends to analyze these issues, by comparing the provisions of the Law on the administrative disputes No 554/2004 to the provisions of the revised Constitution and to other special normative acts in the matter. In this context, the study analyzes in detail the documents issued by the President of Romania in exercising his constitutional and legal powers, the documents issued by the President of Romania which may be subject to an action for administrative disputes, as well as the documents which are excepted from the control of the court of administrative disputes.

At first sight, guilt appears as being one of the necessary conditions for engaging liability, which is quite easy to determine. In fact, in order to make such a statement it must be considered the structure of guilt, formed not only of the intellective and volitive factors that make up the complex psychological process which stands at the origin of the illicit activity, but also the imputation which can be brought to the agent for a conduct inconsistent with the rigours imposed by the legal order. By the analysis made, the author of this study has emphasized both the strengths, and the disadvantages of the criteria subjectively, objectively and even intermediately used for determining the civil guilt in concrete situations. Likewise, he has also dealt with the possibility of determining the criminal guilt in the light of the psychological and normative conceptions. At the same time, by expressing his options for some of these, the author has proposed some nuancings in order to obtain some results as precise as possible and, at the same time, fair for all parties involved.

In the matter of conditions of application of the preventive arrest measure, as in the case of other institutions, the new Criminal Procedure Code contains new regulations and takes over, to a small extent, some provisions of the previous Criminal Procedure Code (of 1968). The new Criminal Procedure Code has regulated the preventive detention in a single modality: the detention of the defendant, namely of the person against whom the criminal action has been set in motion. In this study, the authors analyze the institution of preventive detention, with special reference to the conditions of application of this measure, by presenting some critical aspects and by proposing some improvements of the new regulation.

The current standards on the quality, the integrity and the non-disclosure of the professional secret in the interprofessional complementary activities of the Romanian judicial system represent, in the contemporary society, a concern to adjust to the permanently changing reality. The existence of some constants such as independence, competence, responsibility, but also honour, dignity and respect, in reality, receives new meanings, and their convergence is achieved only by way of a various communication. Creating some new modalities to ensure the common professional status is not an illusion, but a real need for the interprofessional dialogue to take place not only within a profession, but within more professions, for the purpose of ensuring the unity in the application of law.

Din economia dispozițiilor art. 1349 din noul Cod civil reiese faptul că orice persoană are îndatorirea să respecte regulile de conduită pe care legea sau obiceiul locului le impune și să nu aducă atingere, prin acțiunile ori inacțiunile sale, drepturilor sau intereselor legitime ale altor persoane; cel care, având discernământ, încalcă această îndatorire răspunde de toate prejudiciile cauzate, fiind obligat să le repare integral.

In the Romanian doctrine, even if it is evoked the legal existence of the „right to a name”, most authors define it as if it were identical to the „name”. Likewise, some of its legal characters are just asserted, and others are logically and legally grounded in a questionable manner. In relation to this „situation”, this study is devoted to the argumentation and phrasing of a variant of „definition” for the „right to a name”, as well as to the „nuancing” of its legal characters. -
Under Article 1541 (1) b) of the new Romanian Civil Code, among the conditions in which the court may reduce the quantum of the penalty is also the condition that the penalty should be clearly excessive in relation to the damage that could be provided by the parties upon the conclusion of the contract. This text of the new Romanian Civil Code, which entered into force on 1 October 2011, has generated a controversy, in the sense that, once the „clearly excessive” character of the penalty has been retained, the court shall be required to proceed to the reduction thereof or, on the contrary, it has only a faculty (possibility) to proceed as such. In the opinion of the author of the study, the second interpretation is the judicial one.

This article aims to analyze a recent normative act through that were amended and supplemented the normative acts in matters of education, respectively, the Law on national education No 1/2011 and the Government Emergency Ordinance No 75/2005 on quality assurance in education. The approach is focused both on procedural aspects of the adoption of administrative act, in order to determine how the constitutional requirements have been met, but also on the substantive issues, that aim some of the legislative solutions which it enshrines. Among them, the article paid a special attention to the consecration, for the first time in the Romanian legislation, of the possibility that the holder of a scientific title can give up to it. In our opinion, the newly introduced rule has some weaknesses, both in terms of how it is written, but also on the legitimacy of the solution itself.

The principle of legal contractual certainty, as regards its component the „sustainability and efficiency of the contract”, is a fundamental principle of the contract law, which emphasizes the need to maintain the contract in the cases of partial nullity and which is dealt with under a double dimension: a quantitative one and a qualitative one. The quantitative dimension concerns the „continuity of the convention” in time and is manifested by a soft and extended duration. The qualitative dimension concerns also the context, i.e. the capacity of the contract to overcome the obstacles which the economic and social events can raise, arisen during performance of the contract. The study is focused on the applicability of the principle of contractual legal certainty both in terms of interpretation, as well as of validity and performance of the contract, with references also to the provisions from the draft European contract law, an action initiated by the European Commission.
