The European Court of Human Rights rejected the complaints of five Romanian judges regarding the installment payment of salary arrears. The court found the claims inadmissible and without merit, stating that the state's delayed payments did not violate their rights. The judges had already received a portion of their owed salaries, and the court noted that the payment in installments was a legitimate measure due to Romania's exceptional financial situation. The decision does not erase the debts owed by the state but confirms that installment payments do not breach the Convention in these cases. This ruling may impact future claims from other public employees.
