Judge Christy Danilec, known both for his calls for judicial reform and for his legal education lessons in schools, is retiring at the age of just 48, Bihoreanul reports.

“I have submitted my resignation to the High Council of Magistrates and I hope it will be approved so that the President of Romania can sign the resignation decree,” Judge Cristi Danilec told Bihoreanul on Friday, clarifying that in January of last year, he gained 25 years of experience in the master’s degree.

“There comes a point when you say you’ve done enough and you can’t do more. I have now reached such a point in my career. After 25 years, I will stop my activities in the master’s program,” Danilec wrote on Facebook.

When asked about the reasons that forced him to apply for retirement, Danilec revealed that “mainly” it was due to the fact that he was tired of traveling to Cluj from Oradea, where he has settled since 2020, but also that now there are “better” conditions. for retiring magistrates.

I will continue to be present in the public space

Danilet says that he will not say “STOP!” to his other problems and will continue to be present in the public space to “praise what is done well and criticize what is done badly in the legal and judicial field.”

“I will focus more on the legal education of people, which I plan to expand from children’s, which I have been doing for many years, to adults. I will continue to train students to become better lawyers than I am. I will devote more time to my family, as they deserve,” he wrote.

Three lawsuits were won by CSM

In April 2023, Christi Danilec won at the High Court of Cassation and Justice CSM’s third trial against his removal from the judiciary and returned to his position as a judge in the Cluj court.

According to this decision, Danylets should have received the owed salary from December 2021, when he was removed from his post, until now.

Previously, Danilets won two more trials at the CSM with the same object – exclusion from the magistracy.

Thus, in February 2023, the Supreme Court annulled the decision of the Supreme Court of Ukraine from May 2022, by which Danilts was excluded from judicial power due to the fact that he carried out political activities through two public organizations.

In particular, Danilets was sanctioned because he was a member of two non-governmental organizations that published critical communiqués against the government.

Christy Danilec was also expelled from the CSM Master’s in December 2021 for the manifestations he allegedly had on several social networks. It is about two posts on the TikTok social network, which, according to Danilets, are not about justice, but about private life.

And in this case, Danilets challenged the CSM’s decision in court, winning the case.

The members of the CSM, who expelled Danilec from the magistracy, have meanwhile finished their mandate, and the head of the judicial inspection, the institution that drew up the sanctions protocols, has also left the system.
