The European Court of Human Rights ruled on the dispute between the Romanian government and the High Court regarding judges' salary arrears. The Supreme Court clarified that the ECHR decision and the ongoing litigation are separate legal matters. The ECHR acknowledged that the state can stagger financial obligations without negating payment duties. It also highlighted potential conflicts of interest among judges who approved salary increases over the past two decades. The court noted that the government's actions to stagger payments were reasonable given judges' salaries. The ECHR's decision was unanimous and final, emphasizing the importance of adhering to judicial rulings and balancing individual rights with public interest.
