On a global level, COVID-19 has had a profound impact on the conduct of international litigation. According to a survey of 37 countries conducted by the International Bar Association Litigation Committee in 2020, COVID-19 has created a substantial backlog of hearings due to court closures in most jurisdictions. It has also led to many jurisdictions implementing new technological mechanisms to allow for litigation to be conducted remotely via video conference and other kinds of online platforms.
Romania’s court system and actors have faced one of the biggest challenges to date but managed to adapt rapidly, avoiding significant disruption to ongoing litigation.
The Romania Chapter (Law & Practice, Trends & Developments) contributed by lawyers Alina Tugearu and Cosmin Vasile covers important trends and developments related to litigation in Romania, dwelling on topics like litigation funding, initiating a lawsuit, statutes of limitations, representative or collective actions, pre-trial proceedings, discovery, injunctive relief, settlement, damages, appeals, costs, alternative dispute resolution (ADR) and arbitration. Moreover, it provides a thorough analysis on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on ongoing litigation and key industries, general tendencies in dispute resolution, changes in the legal profession, and future trends.
