PETERKA & PARTNERS Romania has previously drafted a legal article entitled “Romanian High Court allows use of phone recordings as evidence in labour disputes”, material which may be read on our blog
As stated in this previous legal article, Romanian High Court of Cassation and Justice (ÎCCJ) issued a landmark ruling on 16 September 2024, allowing phone recordings between employees or between employees and their employer to be used as evidence in labour disputes against the employer, even if the other party was unaware of, or did not consent to, the recording.
On 18 October 2024, the Romanian High Court of Cassation and Justice (ÎCCJ) published Decision no. 39/2024 containing the legal reasoning which led to the above-mentioned ruling. Please see below certain highlights from this decision which seem to bring more understanding of the court’s ruling.
The additional clarifications resulting from the publication of this decision have been summarized by our Romanian team and the material can be accessed at this link
