THE REJECTION REPORT OF A DOCUMENT AUTHENTICATION OR OF A NOTARIAL PROCEDURE ACCOMPLISHMENT – A MEANS OF THE NOTARY PUBLIC'S PROTECTION

Summary/Abstract: In the Romanian society, the notary public has an important mission to accomplish; the limits of this mission are mainly indicated by Law no. 36/1995 of the notaries public and of the notarial activity, republished with all the successive modifications and additions1. In fact, at the beginning of Covid-19 pandemic, the notary public was appointed by the state authorities as one of the social actors who had to remain in the first line of the social life. Being at the disposal of the citizen who is interested in accomplishing certain notarial documents and procedures, the notary public is, sometimes, vulnerable, needing protection. This protection is granted to the notary public by the above-mentioned law, which regulates the rejection report of a document or of a notarial procedure. Thus, the notary public has the possibility of rejecting a document authentication request or a notarial procedure accomplishment request if he is convinced that, by doing so, he respects the provisions of the law (generally speaking) or the standards of professional deontology. But the interested person can appeal against this rejection report at the competent Law Court. Law no. 36/1995 regulates the procedure that must be followed in such a case. In this paper, I intend to discuss over a few interesting aspects for this subject.
