On August 24, the Romanian Senate adopted with 69 to 41 votes and one abstention the draft act amending Law no. 47/1992.

The draft act, which eliminates the suspension by default of trials when exceptions of unconstitutionality are raised, had been tacitly approved by the Chamber of Deputies.

Justice Minister Catalin Predoiu said at the time, during debates on the bill, that the adoption of the draft normative act will significantly speed up trials.

The court ruling is final and is presented to the head of state.
