Where does the Romanian court data come from?

From portal.just.ro — the official portal of Romanian courts, operated by the Ministry of Justice. The underlying data comes from ECRIS (Electronic Case Records Information System), the national case management system used by every court in Romania. ECRIS is the authoritative database for all court proceedings in Romania, containing case details, parties, hearing schedules, decisions, and procedural status. Our tool connects directly to portal.just.ro in real-time to retrieve the most current publicly available court records. This is the same data source used by lawyers, courts, and government agencies in Romania.

How current is the Romanian court data?

Court records on portal.just.ro are updated daily from each court's local ECRIS database. The data you see reflects the most recent synchronization between individual courts and the central portal. Most courts update their records automatically at the end of each business day, though timing may vary by court. When you perform a search, our tool retrieves live data directly from portal.just.ro at that moment, ensuring you always see the latest available information. However, please note that there may be a 1-2 day delay between a court event occurring and appearing in the central portal, depending on each court's data synchronization schedule.

Can I search Romanian court cases by company name or person name?

Yes. You can search by the name of any party involved in a Romanian court case — whether an individual person or a legal entity (company, NGO, government body, etc.). The tool searches across all parties in ECRIS: claimants (reclamanți), defendants (pârâți), interveners (intervenienți), and other procedural roles. You can also combine name searches with other filters such as court location, case type, date range, or subject matter for more precise results. For common names that return many results, we recommend adding additional search criteria (such as location or approximate case date) to narrow down the matches.

What is a Romanian case number format?

Romanian case numbers follow the standardized format NNN/CC/YYYY — where NNN is the sequential case number assigned by the court, CC is the two-digit court code identifying the specific court, and YYYY is the four-digit year the case was filed. For example, 1234/300/2024 refers to case number 1234, filed at court 300 (Bucharest Tribunal) in 2024. Each Romanian court has a unique code: for instance, 300 = Bucharest Tribunal, 301 = Bucharest Court of Appeal, 21 = Cluj-Napoca Tribunal, etc. You can search using the full case number format, or use other search criteria (party name, court, date range) if you don't have the complete case number.

Are all Romanian court cases visible in the portal?

Most Romanian court cases are publicly accessible through portal.just.ro. However, certain categories of cases are confidential by law and are excluded from the public portal. These include: adoption proceedings, cases involving minors in specific circumstances (juvenile justice, child custody in some situations), cases sealed for national security reasons, and other categories protected under Romanian legislation. Additionally, some sensitive personal information (such as full addresses or personal identification numbers) may be redacted even in publicly visible cases. If you need access to confidential court records for legitimate legal purposes, you must submit a formal request to the court or engage a licensed Romanian attorney to petition for access through proper legal channels.

Can this court search tool replace legal advice?

No. This tool provides access to publicly available court records from portal.just.ro for informational purposes only. It does not constitute legal advice, legal representation, or professional legal analysis. While the tool displays factual court data (case numbers, parties, hearing dates, procedural status), it cannot interpret the legal significance of that information, assess case outcomes, predict future rulings, or provide strategic litigation guidance. For legal interpretation, litigation strategy, risk assessment, compliance analysis, or any matter requiring legal expertise, you must consult a qualified legal professional licensed to practice law in Romania. Our law firm offers professional legal services for clients who need expert analysis of court records and litigation support.
