INTERVIU Ce urmează pentru românii cu procese în instanță după „normarea” muncii magistraților. „Listele de așteptare arată, fără cosmetizare, unde nu mai poate funcționa normal sistemul”

The recent "norming" of judges' work in Romania aims to address the backlog in courts by prioritizing urgent cases and revealing the need for more judges. Judge Claudiu Drăgușin from the CSM highlights the existing issues of personnel shortages and delays, stating that the new system will not reduce court activity but will ensure judges have adequate time to handle cases. Simulations show that many courts will struggle with high volumes of cases, leading to long waiting lists. The initiative is seen as a step towards transparency and efficiency, although it is not a definitive solution to the systemic problems in the judiciary. Citizens are encouraged to be aware of potential delays, especially for non-urgent matters like divorces, which may face longer waiting times in certain courts.
