Due to recent legal procedural provisions, there has been an increase in the number of cases where the Supreme Court is called to issue generally applicable guiding rulings on employment law related issues, in order to avoid having contradictory lower court rulings. The Romanian legal system does not recognize binding precedents, but allows the Supreme Court to provide judicial interpretation on matters that are not clearly regulated and might generate contradictory rulings. This new development might lead to a more predictable judicial outcome in the future.
