Codul civil, la 15 ani: ce funcționează și de ce regulile vieții de zi cu zi rămân complicate

The Romanian Civil Code, in effect for 15 years, has modernized legal frameworks but faces challenges due to fragmented legislation. While it unified contract rules, many specific laws complicate its application. Issues like consumer protection are scattered across various regulations, making it hard for citizens to find clear answers. The old Civil Code still applies to contracts made before 2011, adding to the complexity. Court rulings have clarified some aspects, but the law remains difficult to navigate for the public. Future challenges include adapting to digital realities and ensuring coherent updates to the existing code rather than creating a new one. The focus should be on making rights understandable and accessible to citizens.
