Recognition of Foreign Judgments
Also known as Exequator, the recognition of foreign judgements in Romania is a procedure that is carried out in accordance with the rules of the Civil Procedure Code. According to the legal provisions, foreign judgements mean: court decisions issued by competent courts of other countries, as well as notarial acts or acts of contentious or non-contentious jurisdiction of any competent authorities of a non-EU State.
Despite the regulation of Article 1095 of the Code of Civil Procedure, which states that in Romania only foreign judgements on personal or civil status of citizens of the state where they were pronounced are recognised as of right, at present there are still institutions/public authorities that expressly request the follow-up of the exequatur procedure in order for a foreign judgement to produce legal effects on national territory.

What to expect during a session with a lawyer
- Legal advice involves a dialogue with a lawyer with expertise regarding a problem you are facing. Following this session, you will get professional legal advice, which will indicate, where appropriate, the steps you can take to resolve the matter.
- Legal consulting is an essential legal service based on the personalized analysis of your case, by reference to the applicable regulatory framework. As part of this legal action, it is necessary to present in detail the situation you are facing.
- You can also present documents to review with the lawyer. You can attach a PDF document of maximum 10MB that will be sent to the lawyer before the scheduled meeting. Select only the essential documents so that they can be reviewed during the legal consultation session.
- Legal advice does not guarantee a specific solution or outcome for your case, but focuses on a thorough analysis of the factual situation, carried out by the lawyer, by referring to the relevant legislation. Following this analysis, you will obtain a specialist legal opinion.
- Legal consultancy does not include the drafting of documents or legal representation before a court, a public institution/authority, a natural person or a legal entity.
- The lawyer comes to support you to find the suitable legal solution, with the possibility that, after the end of the consultation, you can collaborate further, depending on the measures that have been assessed as necessary to be adopted.
