(1) of General Regulation 2016/679 concerning the publication, on the website of the public authority responsible for collecting and checking the content of declarations of private interests, of personal data which may indirectly disclose the sexual orientation of a natural person and which therefore constitutes processing of special categories of personal data. The case concerned national legislation from a member-state, that provides for the publication online of the declaration of private interests that any head of an establishment receiving public funds is required to lodge name-specific data relating to his or her spouse, cohabitee, or partner, or to persons who are close relatives of the declarant, liable to give rise to a conflict of interests.</p> 2023-05-31T00:00:00+03:00 ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://law.ubbcluj.ro/ojs/index.php/iurisprudentia/article/view/439 The Standard of Proof in Preliminary Chamber 2023-05-31T23:45:50+03:00 Anca-Ioana NEGRU anca.negru@law.ubbcluj.ro <p>In the study we addressed the issue of the standard of proof in the preliminary chamber. More specifically, we determined that although the path to a trial within a trial was opened, the legislature failed to prescribe a standard of proof. We agreed that a standard of proof was required and being inspired by the common law tradition, this should have been "clear and convincing evidence". In addition to the issue of the standard of proof in the preliminary chamber, we also dealt with the burden of proof, and we concluded it belongs to the State as long as they want to introduce to the trial the proof obtained during the criminal investigation phase. The State has the obligation to prove the proof was obtained in compliance with the principle of legality and loyalty.</p> 2023-05-31T00:00:00+03:00 ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://law.ubbcluj.ro/ojs/index.php/iurisprudentia/article/view/284 Former transnational future truths 2023-05-31T23:46:03+03:00 Radu-Bogdan Bobei dr.rbobei@gmail.com <p>This paper focuses on the interaction between international legal reality and domestic legal realities. Public and private law actors altogether interact and dilute the „borders” drawn, in the westphalian logic, between the system of international law and the domestic legal systems. Consequently, transnational situations occur inside and outside the territories of the nations-States, on the one side, and give birth to transnationals truths, on the other side. Practically speaking, two such transnational situations, generating transnational truths, serve as tools for the theoretical scrutiny of the so-called concept of “entangled legalities” spread by the authors all over the world, which can support both scholars and practitioners to deal with the new legal realities.</p> 2023-05-31T00:00:00+03:00 ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://law.ubbcluj.ro/ojs/index.php/iurisprudentia/article/view/432 Short Considerations Regarding the Flexible Interpretation of the European Convention on Human Rights 2023-05-31T23:45:45+03:00 Cristina Tomuleț cristina_tomulet@yahoo.com <p>In this article, I have analysed the flexible interpretation of the European Convention by the European Court of Human Rights and the historical causes of this method of interpretation. At the same time, I have identified the main weights and counterweights with which the Court operates in the context of the interpretation of the Convention, showing that the process in question resembles a balancing exercise, in which various interpretation techniques are used. I have analyzed the effective interpretation of the Convention, its evolutive interpretation in the context of the margin of appreciation of states and the emerging consensus doctrine, as well as the theory of positive obligations. In conclusion, I have pointed out that the interpretation of the Convention appears to be 'unbalanced' in the direction of the effective protection of fundamental rights, which is preferable to a 'balanced' interpretation, which would leave us vulnerable to state abuses.</p> 2023-05-31T00:00:00+03:00 ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://law.ubbcluj.ro/ojs/index.php/iurisprudentia/article/view/349 The unconstitutionality of the provisions of art. 275 para. (1) letter b) sentence i of Romanian Law no. 31/1990 on Companies 2023-05-31T23:45:54+03:00 Oana Bugnar-Coldea oana.bugnar@law.ubbcluj.ro <p>This material brings into discussion the unconstitutionality of the provisions of Article 275 para. (1) letter b) sentence I of the Law no. 31/1990 on companies, republished. Since we are in the presence of a framework rule, which sanctions the failure to convene a general meeting of shareholders in the cases provided for by the law, we first identified those situations in which such a meeting is necessary, and then we "selected" those provisions which may complement the provisions of Article 275 para. (1) letter b, sentence I of the Law. The predictability of the legal norm and the extent to which the principle of subsidiarity is respected were then called into question, concluding that the provisions analysed are unconstitutional.</p> 2023-05-31T00:00:00+03:00 ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://law.ubbcluj.ro/ojs/index.php/iurisprudentia/article/view/442 Aspects concerning the equal treatment in the European Union of a union citizen's family members who are not nationals of a member state 2023-05-31T23:45:59+03:00 Sergiu Deleanu sergiu.deleanu@law.ubbcluj.ro <p class="abstract"><span lang="EN-US">A Union citizen`s family members who are not nationals of a Member State can make use of regulations of the primary law or secondary law of the European Union in order for the principles of equality, of equal treatment regulation and of non-discrimination regulation to be applied.
