Understanding Romania's Legal System

It is my personal belief that any important foreign investor should have at least a minor understanding of the Romanian Legal System and its Courts. This could prove to be very useful in the Romania's current sometimes risky business environment.

Romania has the following Courts of Law: Romanian legislation stipulates the following Courts of Law: - High Court of Cassation and Justice;- Courts of Appeal;- Tribunals;- Specialized Tribunals;- Military Courts;- Regional Courts;- Arbitrary Court. Activity of Romanian Courts is performed by respecting the principles of the aleatory file case distribution and continuity, with the exceptions of the situations in which the Judge cannot participate to the trial because of objective reasons. Other principles include: - Court proceedings are public with certain exceptions;- Decisions are pronounced in public with certain exceptions;- The Bailiff maintains records on proceedings (declarations by the parties and the Romanian Judge).
