The areas where the Civil Code brings regulations lacking in the previous legislation include the controversial area of civil legal acts nullity. As shown throughout this article, many of the current legislative solutions are inspired by the previously existing legal literature and jurisprudence, while others are unique. The author’s main concern is reflected in an attempt to outline some features of the civil legal act nullity as they can be drawn from the new regulation. -
Taking into consideration the subtle and random criteria as an incidence in the delimitation of influence peddling from the fraud offences, it is likely that in very similar cases of misleading, the criminal will be lucky due to the occurrence of the influence peddling or it is likely that should not have been lucky when he committed materialized deeds supplementing the constitutive content of the fraud offence in relation to similar material damages. It is likely to cause material damages also in the matter of the formal criminal deeds and in the process of the legal and judicial individualization of the punishment, also the amount of the material damages produced as a result of the concrete endangerment offence should be taken into account. -

The trust that the patient grants to the medicine professionals for applying the prevention or treatment methods corresponding to his health condition, under the lowest risks, depends on correct and complete information regarding his prevention, diagnostic and treatment activities. Actually, the breach of this deontological duty represents an act of betrayal of his trust, as he could not choose the best solution corresponding to his own interests, in the circumstances in which the patient is free to decide about his own fate. From the legal point of view, this breach of duty results in the civil liability incurred for the prejudices caused to the patient. Considered from the perspective of the biomedical ethics, the physician’s duty to inform the patient brings into focus an interesting subject of research: the manner in which the observance of the patient’s autonomy affects the mechanism of adopting the medical decision related to the diagnostic, the care, the treatment or determining him to undergo certain scientific experiments. From this perspective, the study tries to provide a new approach of the duty of information, but this time from the ethical point of view related to the consideration due to the dignity of the patient human being who is so vulnerable and suffering. The selection of the case law solutions rendered completes the exposure of the legal consequences regarding the breach of this duty.

The Law No 85/2014 on the procedures for preventing insolvency and of insolvency has been recently adopted and has entered into force. Whereas Article 123 (1), (7) and (8) of this Law provides a series of regulations that aim, directly or indirectly, at the „denunciation” of some categories of individual labour contracts of the employees of the debtor (undergoing insolvency) or at the „dissolution” of such contracts, in this study the author examines the above-mentioned problems. -
The Law No 85/2014 on the procedures for preventing insolvency and of insolvency (which entered into force at the end of June 2014) repeals and replaces the Law No 85/2006 on the insolvency procedure. Obviously, the current law brings a series of new elements, as compared to the previous law. This study briefly presents the main elements of novelty brought, in this matter, by the Law No 85/2014, as compared to the Law No 85/2006, reaching to the conclusion that the regulation of the new law, on the one hand, avoids the financial blocking and, on the other hand, in view of covering the claims, gives greater chances both to the debtors who are in difficulty or in default of payment, and also to the creditors, especially if they are acting in good faith.

Introducere.1 Una dintre principalele probleme existente în practica judiciară, după intrarea în vigoare a noului Cod penal, a fost legată de modalitatea de aplicare a legii penale mai favorabile. Aceasta a generat practica neunitară a instanțelor de judecată și a determinat pronunțarea de soluții de către Înalta Curte de Casație și Justiție și de către Curtea Constituțională. Realizarea unei diagnoze a celor 6 luni de aplicare a noului Cod penal reflectă modalitatea oscilantă în care au fost aplicate principiile care stabilesc determinarea legii mai favorabile, cu evidente consecințe asupra stabilirii pedepselor în cauzele aflate în curs de soluționare.

In this study, the author, after presenting some brief considerations on proportionality as a principle of law, presents the theoretical foundations of proportionality, as they are reflected in the Romanian legal doctrine. Finally, the author proposes that, in prospect of future revision of the Constitution of Romania, it must be established, in its very first article, that „the exercise of the state power must be proportionate and non-discriminatory”. -
In this study, the author examines exhaustively the problems of the preliminary proceedings before the Court of Justice of the European Union [Article 19 (3) (b) of the Treaty on European Union; Article 267 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union].

This study deals with a new institution in the Romanian criminal legislation, namely the plea agreement, which is a deal of the prosecutor with the major defendant concerning the offence, the evidence, the form of guilt and the punishment imposed, all taking the form of a simplified procedure. By combining the theoretical and the practical aspects, the article is of great interest to those who apply the criminal law. Being written in a way which transcends the already known generalities regulated in the Criminal Procedure Code, the study specifically concerns the particularities and the difficulties which accompany the application of this new legal mechanism.

Unlike the previous legislation, which did not contain any reference to the progressive offence, the new Criminal Code indicates the time from which the prescription period starts to run for this type of offence, without regulating, however, other aspects referring to the criminal treatment applicable to the acts falling within the legal category in question. This task lays further on case-law and doctrine, but, having regard to the numerous contradictory solutions and controversies noted, some regulations to ensure a uniform settlement of the noticed aspects shall be required, de lege ferenda.

This study examines the regulation of the Civil Code, entered into force on 1 October 2011, in respect of non-essential clauses, standard clauses, external clauses or extrinsic and unusual clauses, in the process of conclusion of contracts. Despite the intention of simplification which the Civil Code had in view, the risks and the issues generated by these legal instruments can be imagined, even in this early stage of its application. Within this analysis, there are also reported some problems, as well as some possible solutions in this respects.
