The Romanian Constitutional Court confirmed that decisions in social insurance disputes under the old pension law are final after appeal and cannot be contested further. This ruling, published on October 23, 2026, clarifies that the right to access justice does not require three levels of jurisdiction. The court dismissed claims that limiting appeals infringes on rights, stating that the existing two-tier system is sufficient. The decision does not alter pension calculation rules but addresses procedural aspects of contesting court decisions. It applies to cases under the previous pension legislation, which has since been repealed.
