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. That is, in the author’s opinion, in case of the transfer of real property right, these decisions require to be authenticated.

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. -

The general conditions to be fulfilled for taking all preventive measures, the particular conditions specific to each measure, the grounds and the procedure to be followed for the determination of such measures, are detailed.

The author makes a number of proposals to improve the legislation in the matter, for those situations in which it considers them to be necessary.

The development of the regulations in the matter of the consumer protection has contributed significantly to the reconstruction of traditional tort institution, providing a new focus on the fundamentals of such liability, by revaluing its functions and establishing a new coherence. The flaw in the product has been reported to the lack of security that a person can legitimately expect, given the circumstances of the presentation and use at the time of the product release. The breach of the security obligation entails the civil liability for damages to all persons who contributed to a defective product to be acquired by the consumer, from the manufacturer up to the distributor. Within these coordinates, in its study the authors examine the specificity of this civil obligation under the assumption of liability for defective products, in terms of European law regulations, and of the domestic law.

The author strongly criticizes the regulation stated in art. 519 to 521 of the new (Romanian) Code of Civil Procedure (referral to the High Court of Cassation and Justice for a prior ruling for dispensation of law issues), considering, reasoned, that these texts should be expressly repealed so that, also in the case covered by art. 519, an appeal in the interest of law can be filed (Articles 514 to 518 of the same code). -
With rare exceptions, self-explanatory, the legal adages have proven out to be law constants, that are so enfranchised and widely accepted that, often, they have been converted from ,,rules” to ,,arguments”. Jurisprudence has capitalized them and is still capitalizing them either in the consideration of ,,their inherent binding legal force”, since, in their essence, they are objectified through legal rules, hence borrowing their value, either in the consideration of ,,their normative force” k within the newer meaning assigned to this concept k as ,,reference”, as ,,guidance”, as ,,standard” of interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of positive law. Two of these adages present a paradoxical and arguable legal circumstance: specialia generalibus derogant (special departs from general); nemo censetur ignorare legem (ignorance of the law excuses no one). They are not established in terminis (in terms) and sufficiently defined by legal dispositions. And, still, they have a binding legal force. These are, in essence, the subject matters proposed to be discussed in the study below. -
The social reaction against low severity felonies ask for finding solutions alternative to criminal penalties. The legislator of the new Criminal Code, waiving the institution of absence of the felony’s social danger and replacement of criminal liability, has adopted, for the argument of criminal prosecution, on grounds of the principle of opportunity of exercising criminal action, the institution of waiver of criminal prosecution, and, in terms of substantive criminal law, waiver by the court law of the penalty enforcement. Both institutions, new as concepts in the Romanian criminal legislation, are practically instruments of non-penalization of the actual felony and replacement of criminal liability with an administrative liability, by enforcing administrative sanctions as alternatives for criminal penalties. The regulation of these new institutions, according to the author’s opinion, can however be criticized both in terms of preserving the rights of the injured persons and by the fact that the prosecutor’s assessment powers are far more extended than those of the court of law.

This article deals with an offence substantially amended under the new Criminal Code – i.e. the failure to comply with judgments. After a brief comparative presentation of new and old regulations, the author describes and analyzes the normative versions of the new wording: opposition to the execution, by making a stand against the enforcement authority; refusal of the enforcement authority to implement a judgment, by which it is bound to perform a certain act; refusal to assist the enforcement authority in the implementation of the judgment by people who are liable in this matter under the law; non-enforcement of judgment ordering the reinstatement of an employee; default in enforcing the judgment on the payment of wages within 15 days from the date of its enforcement application submitted to the employer by the interested Party; non-compliance of judgments on the establishment, payment, updating and recalculation of pensions; prevention of a person to use, in whole or in part, a property owned under a Court ruling, by the one against whom the same is enforceable. -
The author performs a detailed analysis of the characteristic traits of indictments under the new Criminal Code which are correlated with, related to or in interdependence relationship, as appropriate, with fraud, in view of similarities and disparities thereof, with frequent references to valid national legal practice and in relation to the new Criminal provisions.

Also, the author does not hesitate to put forward his opinion on deciphering the legal wording of the offences under review or the sphere, in practical situations, of one or the other of the aforementioned rules of incrimination and to advance some of its own solutions and ideas.

The judicial individualization of the sentence shall be carried out by a complex operation using all those individualization criteria set forth by law (general and special criteria); the need for taking into consideration all the grounds for sentence modification is included within these criteria, as well. Drawn by this need, the Romanian Criminal Code into force (since 1968) contains regulations regarding the manner in which the various grounds for sentence modification must be enforced, when they concur, regulations contained in the provisions of art. 80. Likewise, the new Romanian Criminal Code contains such regulations in art. 79. In this study, the authors have emphasized several systems of sentence determination in case of the concurrence between the grounds for sentence modification. Both the Criminal Code into force and the new Criminal Code adopted an objective criterion concerning the manner in which the various grounds for sentence modification must be enforced, being sensitive to multiple interpretations and contradictory solutions. The Romanian Criminal Code of 2004 – abrogated, before becoming effective, through the new Criminal Code – which forwarded a system based upon a subjective criterion, by granting the judge the freedom to assess the predominance (prevalence) of the grounds for sentence modification and to give them the due legal effect. From the point of view of the authors of the study, this system seems to be more adequate to settle the problems raised by the concurrence between the grounds for sentence modification.

The minor traffic offence is one of the most serious offences, being included in the field of judicial cooperation in all European legislative instruments. The study describes a general and critical examination of the legal provisions into force which, according to the author, do not guarantee an adequate judicial protection to minor persons being the victims of the offence. By publishing it, the research of this very important field and at the same time in the pipeline at the level of the member states of the European Union, is continued. The research may be useful both to practitioners, and to ideologists in the field of criminal and criminal proceedings law. The essential contribution of the study is limited to the critical remarks exposed and to the concrete proposals on amending and supplementing the special law, especially from the point of view of the indictment of other offences or of establishing the obligation to provide defense to the minor person who is victim, under the sanction of absolute nullity.

The rental of safe deposit boxes shall be regulated by the Civil Code (Law no. 287/2009) within the banking agreements, together with the current bank account, deposit and credit facility. The above mentioned regulation makes obvious a special agreement, customized by its content, different from the civil deposit and from the rental. Being concerned with the protection of the client’s valuable goods, the legislator allocates a larger space to the access to the safe deposit box – voluntarily or in a forced way (art. 2197-2198). This study examines the rental of the safe deposit boxes according to the Civil Code in the classical way of approaching the agreements. -
This study examines preliminarily the documents upon which the Court of Accounts concretizes its activity, and it analyses further in a detailed manner the remedies at law against these documents, by emphasizing the non-unitary case law in the matter, namely: if the law court is competent in the first instance (the Administrative and Fiscal Section), and the Court of Appeal is competent in the second appeal (the Administrative and Fiscal Section) or, on the contrary, the Court of Appeal (the Administrative and Fiscal Section) is competent in the first instance, and the competence shall belong to the High Court of Cassation and Justice in the second appeal (the Administrative and Fiscal Section). Based upon a comprehensive analysis the authoress points out that the last solution shall be legal.

Romania, by adhering in July 1961, to the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards, adopted in New-York as at 10 June 1958, on that occasion formulated a reserve, in the sense that our country shall enforce the Convention „only to disputes arising from lawful contractual or non-contractual relations being deemed as commercial by the national law”. Since as at the 1st October 2011 the current Romanian Civil Code entered into force (Law no. 287/2009, as republished as at 15 July 2011), as well as Law no. 71/2011 for the enforcement of the current Civil Code, both of them having a monist character (without considering the commercial law as an autonomous discipline of law), but recognizing further the category of merchants (a component of the professionals’ category) the authoress considers that, on one hand, the above mentioned reserve shall be construed as referring exclusively to the legal relations among merchants, and, on the other hand, as opposed to what the law is, that Romania is about to waive the concerned reserve at issue in the future.

Cerința interesului de a fi actual trebuie îndeplinitã pe tot parcursul procesului, iar nu numai la momentul introducerii acțiunii. Astfel, în cazul în care pe parcursul procesului acțiunea promovatã de reclamant rãmâne fãrã interes, demersul procesual, inițial justificat, rãmâne fãrã o finalitate practicã din punct de vedere juridic, soluția consacratã jurisprudențial în atare situații fiind aceea a respingerii acțiunii ca rãmasã fãrã interes (Înalta Curte de Casație și Justiție, Secția comercialã, decizia nr. 2623 din 13 septembrie 2011).
