Reform of magistrates' pensions blocked by the Constitutional Court

Constitutional Court Blocks Magistrates' Pension Reform

Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan's decision to assume responsibility in Parliament for the legislative project was not enough, as the Constitutional Court declared the law unconstitutional.

The court's decision, made with a simple majority of five to four, was based on formal defects, specifically the lack of a mandatory opinion from the Superior Council of Magistracy.

The rejection was based on formal defects, namely the lack of the opinion of the Superior Council of Magistracy, a mandatory procedural element when it comes to normative acts concerning the status of magistrates.

The law aimed to reform the special pensions of magistrates, but was invalidated due to a bureaucratic error, not the substance of the reform.

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