Starting from the legal rule of the non-retroactivity of law (initially included only in art. 1 of the Romanian Civil Code of 1864, still in force, and, afterwards, in art. 15, parag. 2 of the current Constitution of Romania – of 1991), the author makes an analysis of the theory of the non-retroactivity of law (according to the Romanian judicial doctrine), and then he examines the rules of the new Romanian Civil Code (published in 2009, but not yet in force), as well as the Draft Law for implementing the new Romanian Civil Code) which, by regulating various legal situations representing a conflict of laws in time, applies the principle of non-retroactivity of the civil law. -

Over time, the abuse of right has been interpreted in various ways: while the advocates of absolute rights have interpreted it literally, namely as the almightiness of individual rights, the advocates of relative rights claim that the rights of one person end where the rights of another person start, so that the person excessively using its own right commits an abuse of right. As regards the explanation of its punishment, the classical theory assimilates it to tort liability, based on the moral censorship of conduct. Meanwhile, more and more of its hypotheses have become detached from fault. The new Romanian Civil Code accepts these trends partially, still remaining the prisoner of fault, as a basis for civil liability. The above-mentioned study intends to examine in a critical manner the legal solutions provided by the new regulation, trying to explain the punishment of the abuse of right on other ideas than the requirement to punish the guilty conduct of the holder.

In the study hereby, the author reviews provisions of the new Romanian Civil Code (enacted by Parliament, published in the „Official Gazette of Romania”, Part I, in July 2009, but still unenforced) on the artificial property accession, by reference to the current Civil Code (since 1865), still in force, and to the relevant Romanian jurisprudence and doctrine.

Rail freight contract in the Republic of Moldova’s Law is that contract by which the State Enterprise „Moldova Railways”, via a regional subdivision as carrier, undertakes in return of shipping charges (tariff) to transport within a given period, to watch over and to release the goods arrived at the railway station of destination to the person whose name is mentioned on the consignment note. Rail freight contract is a variation of contract for carriage of goods in general. Therefore, based on its legal regulation there are two categories of legal rules: general – the rules of the Civil Code of the Republic of Moldova and special – the rules of the Rail Code of the Republic of Moldova and other subordinate legal regulations. Special Rule enjoys priority over the general rule. The railway is a system of state concern, being monopoly enterprise within the territory of the Republic of Moldova. All railway territorial subdivisions are subordinated to the railway central government. In turn, the consignor may be a public or private legal entity or a natural person that submits merchandise to be carried for personal needs. The law does not require special conditions for shippers. Shippers individuals have the right to carry goods for personal needs, family, household and other non-related to the entrepreneurial activity. In this case, they shall be treated equally to all customers and shall be granted all rights under consumer protection legislation.
