About Limits in Exercising the Active Role of the Judge in Romanian Procedural Law

Summary/Abstract: The active role of the judge, a fundamental principle of procedural law, is applied as varied as the personalities of the judges who administer justice are different. In relatively simple lawsuits, with a well-defined object and placed in a single demand end, the active role is limited to following a natural, predictable path. However, there are also situations in which the lawsuits have a complex object, with several claims, an object that does not, in fact, resolve the dispute, but will probably lead to another lawsuit. The tendency to emphasize formalism raises the issue of the ever-increasing limitation of the judge's role. In this paper I propose to outline some of these boundaries and possible situations in which the judge, exercising his active role by possibly expanding the procedural framework, resolves the dispute and prevents a new trial.
