The operative part of uniformity decision no. 9/2024 JPE

on the payment of procedural fees and the reimbursement of publication costs in certain non-contentious civil proceedings launched ex officio

On the basis of a motion for preliminary ruling submitted by the Head of the Civil Chamber of the Curia, the Curia’s Uniformity Complaint Panel has delivered the following uniformity decision on the payment of procedural fees and the reimbursement of publication costs in certain non-contentious civil proceedings launched ex officio:

  1. If the court orders liquidation ex officio on the notification (initiative) of the Company Registration Court pursuant to Section 22 (1) (c) of Act XLIX of 1991 on Bankruptcy and Liquidation Proceedings, there will not be any obligation on the subject of proceedings to pay fees and reimburse publication costs in non-contentious civil proceedings.
  2. Pursuant to Section 119 (1b) and (5) of Act V of 2006 on Public Company Information, Company Registration and Winding-up Proceedings, the obligation to pay procedural fees and reimburse publication costs will not arise in a manner that burdens the subject of proceedings, in asset settlement proceedings launched ex officio, either.
