Intervenția judiciară extinsă în materia ordinului de protecție: posibilitatea dispunerii din oficiu a măsurilor de protecție și suplinirea consimțământului victimei pentru purtarea dispozitivului electronic de supraveghere
Enhanced judicial intervention in the field of restraining orders: the court’s power to order protective measures ex officio and to substitute the victim’s consent for the imposition of an electronic monitoring device

Summary/Abstract: The steady increase in cases in Romania of domestic and family violence has prompted renewed attention to the effectiveness and limits of the existing legal framework governing protection orders. This article examines, first, the general regulatory structure applicable to protection orders, with a focus on the constraints placed upon judicial intervention where protective measures are adopted ex officio, in the absence of an express request from the victim. Secondly, the article offers a detailed analysis of the circumstances under which a court may lawfully substitute the victim’s consent for the purpose of authorising electronic monitoring, thereby permitting the installation of an electronic monitoring bracelet on the perpetrator in situations where an imminent threat to the victim’s life is established. Through this dual approach, the study seeks to clarify both the boundaries and the potential expansion of judicial powers within the domain of victim protection.
