Of recent case law in the field of the judiciary and magistrates status

1. After leaving the service at the Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism, the prosecutor returns, even over the scheme, to the prosecutor’s office he comes from, and in case he requests the continuation to another prosecutor’s office, where is entitled to operate under law, the application is being considered similar to transfer requests, taking into account the needs of personnel, workload, and the opinion of the prosecutor’s office requesting further work

3. Appeal promoted by the Association of Magistrates in Romania against a judgment of the Superior Council of Magistracy that decided the professional degree recognition similar to the Prosecutor’s Office attached to High Court of Cassation and Justice. Lack of interest

4. For settling claims for recovery of promoting contest results to execution positions may be used inclusively posts that became vacant at a later date of expiration of recovery period as a result of measures ordered within the period of recovery of the contest results. Assigning the vacant position to a management position, without legal justification, according to art. 22 of the Rules of Procedure of the courts, has violated the claimant right to have recovered the result of the contest examination for promotion to execution positions

5. Recovery of the result of the promotion to execution positions should not be made solely on the criterion of the average obtained at any of the sections, since regulation does not provide that promotion is made according to specializations, but states that is made according to the choice of the candidate from application and that option refers to specialization and section

6. Opposition to the mark for the professional performances of a prosecutor. Even assuming that the interview is not a step which is at the free option of the evaluation committee, can not be held that failure of this stage conducts to nullity or illegality of the whole procedure, in the absence of express provision to that effect

7. Ensuring compliance with the principles of economy and efficiency in the use of public state resources given in use of National Institute Magistrates.
