The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) dismissed complaints from six Romanian judges regarding delayed salary payments. The court highlighted potential conflicts of interest when judges decide on their own salary components. The judges argued that the Romanian state failed to execute court rulings on salary rights, claiming violations of their right to a fair trial and property rights. ECHR noted that it does not replace national courts in interpreting laws but emphasized the importance of impartiality in judicial decisions. The ruling comes amid ongoing disputes over judges' salaries, with the High Court winning a case for significant salary arrears.
