Reform of Magistrates' Pensions Blocked by Constitutional Court

Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan decided to assume responsibility in Parliament, despite the legislative project lacking the mandatory opinion from the Superior Council of Magistracy.

The Constitutional Court, with a simple majority of five to four, admitted the complaint filed by the High Court of Cassation and Justice, declaring the law aimed at reforming magistrates' special pensions unconstitutional.

Rejection was based on formal defects, namely the lack of the opinion of the Superior Council of Magistracy, a mandatory procedural element.

The law, intended to repair a system imbalance, was invalidated due to a bureaucratic error, not the substance of the reform.

Author's summary: Court blocks pension reform due to procedural error.
