On 18 November 2018, Law no. 310/2018 for amending and
supplementing the Romanian Civil Procedure Code ("RCPC")
was published in the Official Gazette.
Most of the amendments made to the RCPC are aimed at simplifying
court procedures and compliance with the latest decisions taken by
the Romanian Constitutional Court in relation to court
jurisdiction.
One important amendment consists in fully removing the filtering
procedure for cassation appeals which was previously conducted by
the High Court of Cassation and Justice in non-contentious
procedures aimed at ruling on the admissibility of the cassation
appeal. This will certainly lead to a faster resolution of
cassation appeals which were very much delayed by this filtering
procedure.
