Economic offence can be defined as a deed that affects the legal regime established for carrying out economic activities. Unlike the Criminal Code of 1968, which dedicated the Title VIII of its special part to economic offences, the new Criminal Code contains only some economic offences, scattered among various titles and chapters. -
In this study the authors criticize an isolated opinion (the vice of consent of lesion is inapplicable to the individual labour contract) expressed more or less recently in the Romanian legal literature. The provisions of Article 1221 and (limitatively and partially) Article 1222 of the Civil Code supplement the provisions of the Labour Code. On the other hand, Articles 1223–1224 of the Civil Code are completely inapplicable in case of individual labour contract.

The author analyses (partly critically) provisions of Article 16, Article 17 and Article 19 of the Romanian Labour Code concerning the written form of the individual labour contract, the obligation to inform the employee on the essential clauses of the contract and the sanction for the failure to fulfil the information obligation with a view to better correlate them with Directive 91/533/EEC of 14 October 1991 on an employer’s obligation to inform employees of the conditions applicable to the contract or employment relationship and with the case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union on this matter.

Mediation is governed by Law No 192/2006. In criminal matters, mediation is a restorative practice designed to solve the conflict between the parties involved. For a limited number of offences a criminal mediation agreement has the effect of preventing the initiation of criminal prosecution or ending criminal proceedings. This does not mean that parties may come to an agreement on the criminal aspects of the criminal proceedings as the legislator may seem to let us to believe. The only aspect on which an agreement may be reached concerns withdrawal of a prior complaint or reconciliation of parties in case of certain offences; these are impediments distinctively regulated in the mediation agreement. As a matter of fact, the consensus between parties in criminal proceedings, contained in the mediation agreement, exceeds the limits imposed by what is usually considered as the criminal aspect and the civil aspect of those proceedings. Through their will, parties may limit themselves to an agreement only on civil claims within criminal proceedings.

This paper approaches the theme of disuse as a modality of lapse of the subdivisions of the property right.

The study also examines the extent of interference of the disuse with the acquiring of the subdivided right by usucaption, as well as the consequences that it might have the legal nature of the limitation period acknowledged to the disuse period. -

Damages can be assessed by the court, by law or by the willful agreement of parties. This study analyzes the notion of damages, the conditions for awarding damages, as well as their assessment by the court and their legal assessment. The purpose of assessment of damages incurred by the creditor is that of reinstating the creditor to the situation in which it would have been found, if the debtor had voluntarily performed the obligations assumed by concluding the contract. Judicial assessment of damages is made by judgment and involves the judge’s examination of all the conditions for undertaking contractual liability, particularly with regard to the prejudice caused to the creditor by the debtor’s non-performance of obligations. Legal assessment of damages occurs in the cases regulated by Articles 1535 and 1536 of the new Civil Code and falls within the scope of obligations that have as object the service of granting a sum of money, to which the legislator also adds the case of obligations to do, which can be assessed in money.

The higher interest of the child is the only finality of the actions of parents and the only criterion that justifies the intervention of the State in the relations between parents and children. In the new Civil Code the main concern of the Romanian legislator is to detension the relationships between spouses and their minor children, recognizing that the higher interest of the children is, first of all, that of being affected to the smallest extent by the effects of the parents’ divorce, thus allowing both divorced spouses to exercise their parental authority. By reference to the previous regulation – the Family Code, it is a radically different vision, „a true revolution in the field”, „a modern solution” according to which, after the divorce, the parental authority is not split up between the parents, but they exercise it together, as recommended by Article 18 paragraph 1 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The new Civil Code has established the principle of shared parental authority in order to allow the parents to continue to be, despite their separation, partners in a proactive and effective manner in all important decisions relative to the health, education, training and recreation of their common children, a principle that becomes thus an ideal to be achieved. This study analyzes these aspects.

The new Criminal Code of Romania brings numerous novelties within the scope of incrimination in the Romanian criminal law and, as compared to the previous regulation, it provides, in the text of Article 276, the sanctioning of the deed of a person who, during ongoing judicial proceedings, makes false public statements concerning the commission, by the judge or by the criminal prosecution authorities, of an offence or a serious disciplinary misconduct related to the processing of that case, in order to influence or intimidate such authorities.
