Action for breach of contract

Litigation attorney in Romania. What is an action for breach of contract?

Rescission in Romania is a civil penalty (cause of inefficacy) consisting of the future cancellation of a contract in Romania due to the non-performance of obligations by one party for causes attributable to it. Essentially, the penalty of cancellation of a contract in Romania is a species of termination, differing from it in terms of scope and the lack of retroactive effect regarding its consequences, as the effects of rescission in Romania only apply prospectively.

The parties of rescission in Romania are represented by the claimant and the defendant. The claimant is the person who initiates the cancellation of a contract in Romania, which could be the party to the civil contract in Romania that believes the contractual obligations assumed by the other party have been disregarded, thus requesting rescission and termination in Romania.

Litigation attorney in Romania. How does breach of contract work?

Rescission and termination in Romania can be ordered by the court upon request, it can be unilaterally declared by the entitled party or it can operate automatically.

One particular aspect of contract termination in Romania is the existence of seemingly minor non-performance, which, due to its repetitive nature, becomes significant and may consequently lead to termination.

In the case of unilateral rescission in Romania, similar to the situation with termination, this occurs through a written notice from the debtor called notice of breach in Romania when the parties have agreed as such, when the debtor is legally in default, or when the debtor has not fulfilled the obligations assumed in civil contract in Romania within the specified time frame resulting in default. In the case of unilateral rescission in Romania, the debtor must provide a notice of breach in Romania within the general prescription period of 3 years, and, to ensure enforceability against third parties, must register it in the Land Register or other public registers, as applicable. To ensure the efficiency and correctness of procedures related to civil contract in Romania, The Romanian Law Firm Pavel Mărgărit and Associates encourages you to consult with a litigation attorney in Romania or civil litigation attorney in Romania from our team specialized in civil litigation and dispute resolution in Romania.

Civil attorneys in Romania. Situations where rescission in Romania can be invoked

The case of a lease contract is a typical example that meets the necessary conditions for rescission in Romania, as it is a contract with successive/continuous performance (spanning over a period of several months/years), and the effects of the action for breach of contract will not affect the already performed obligations. Non-payment of rent by the tenant can lead to the valid termination of the lease contract. Therefore, this civil contract in Romania has fully produced its effects until the day a notice of breach in Romania is served, and starting from that date, it will no longer have future effects. An indefinite-term employment contract is also susceptible to rescission in Romania by either party.
