Former judge of the EU Court, on the suspension of the CCR meeting: "Failure to appear in deliberation, in any jurisdictional order, is equivalent to self-resignation. The four, consequently, can no longer vote."

Law professor Valerius M. Ciucă, former judge at the Court of Justice of the European Union, argues that the absence of a judge "in deliberation" is equivalent to self-resignation.

"If, in deliberation, a 'judge' does not show up, he is considered automatically dismissed. Even death does not represent a cause for non-deliberation. On his deathbed, the judge can be questioned regarding his verdict. There have been numerous cases worldwide. If you cannot deliberate, you publicly announce the reasons. Any trial is public, not private. Delayed deliberations require reopening of mandatory debates. The trial is not a source of mysteries, but a legitimate legal dialogue. You, the four of you, have violated the fundamental rules of any civilized trial by ignoring this fundamental rule: the procedural incident cannot be resolved without the participation of the parties in the trial!!!

The absence in deliberation, in any jurisdictional order, is equivalent to self-resignation. The four, consequently, can no longer vote. They are outside the constitutional order and outside universal norms," wrote on Facebook, Valerius M. Ciucă, professor at the Faculty of Law of Alexandru Ioan Cuza University, former judge at the Court of Justice of the European Union in Luxembourg.
