STOICA & ASOCIAȚII supports the ‘Valeriu Stoica’ National Civil Law Conference, 2026 edition

The Faculty of Law of the University of Bucharest, Universul Juridic Publishing House, together with the Romanian Journal of Private Law (RRDP), the Romanian Journal of Case Law (RRDJ), with the support of STOICA & ASOCIAȚII, are organising the "Valeriu Stoica” National Civil Law Conference on 24–25 September 2026. The event will take place at the Faculty of Law of the University of Bucharest, in the ‘Constantin Stoicescu’ lecture theatre, and will bring together renowned professors, researchers and legal practitioners.

The theme of this year’s edition – ‘The exercise of subjective civil rights and procedural rights. Abuse of rights in the Civil Code and the Code of Civil Procedure’ – offers an analysis of one of the areas in which the distinction between the legitimate exercise of a right and its abusive use raises particularly complex issues, in both substantive and procedural law.

Over the course of the two days, the guest speakers will address the fundamentals and limits of the exercise of subjective and procedural rights, the criteria for identifying abuse of rights, the sanctions it entails, as well as the solutions developed by legal doctrine and court practice.

On the first day of the conference, during the fourth panel, scheduled between 15:45 and 17:30, Professor Emeritus Valeriu Stoica, PhD (Founding Partner, STOICA & ASOCIAȚII) will deliver a presentation on the topic ‘The right to unilateral termination and the right to unilateral cancellation, from the perspective of abuse of rights in contractual matters’.

"Abuse of rights is one of those fundamental issues that compels us to revisit the relationship between the freedom of the holder of a right and the limits on its exercise. It is an issue that is both theoretical and deeply practical, present in both substantive law and civil procedure. The conference provides an opportunity for an in-depth analysis of these issues, through dialogue between legal doctrine and case law and through the contributions of leading academics, judges and practitioners. "The value of such an event lies precisely in the diversity of perspectives and in the opportunity to compare theoretical constructs with the practical problems that the application of the law raises on a daily basis,” said Professor Emeritus Valeriu Stoica, Founding Partner, STOICA & ASOCIAȚII.
