On the occasion of the modification of the claims regarding the establishment of a seizure, the judge of the cause of action should examine to what extent, from the psychological and legal point of view, the active involvement of the creditor – most often the single litigant who knows the existence of the file – prejudices certain fundamental principles of the civil trial such as the principle of the equality of arms or the principle of contradictoriality. The simple record of the presence of the party, in the absence of the other party, is sufficient to affect, by itself, these cardinal ordinances of the civil trial. The principle of availability cannot justify a proportional reduction in the amount of the bail in relation to the reduction of the sum to the amount to which the establishment of the seizure is required; otherwise, it would create an insurmountable “obstacle” in the path of the debtor which, “exposing” the abusive approach of the creditor subsequently, would be obliged to have its fill of an inappropriate bail of the suffered prejudice.

In this article, the author makes some observations about the documents necessary to carry out the real estate publicity formalities as a result of the division of a company. The non-unitary practice of courts and offices of cadastre and land registration in respect of the documents which require to be authenticated for validity and tabulation purposes lead to a non-unitary notarial practice, as well. Dissenting opinions appearing on the transfer of ownership basis and on the time of this transfer, lead to different views on the legal nature of notarial documents processed, which is reflected finally in the taxation field. This study supports the contractual nature of a division, and the manifestations of the final will are expressed, in principle, by the decisions of the general meetings of the companies involved in the division, by which they approve the terms of the transaction.

The author aims to discern the will of the legislator, expressed in the text of the art. 1856 of the new Civil Code, titled marginally “workers’ direct action”. This approach has led to some recent doctrinal views by which the direct action is recognized to subcontractors as well, including those who have the status of legal entity. The author argues that the mentioned legal text has to be interpreted as meaning to the recognition of the direct action only to certain individuals, i.e. to workers and subcontractors-individuals (the latter under certain conditions: working alone or employing workers, working with them to achieve the work / to render the services). In the study, certain practical situations are brought to light, in which the question of determining the holders of direct action is raised, in case of the subcontractor agreements. The author considers as possible, “de lege ferenda”, regulating a direct action both in favour of the subcontractors-individuals using workers and in favour of the subcontractors-legal entities, but only for the price of work/rendering of services which excludes the price of the workers’ activity.
