Romania's top court to rule on judges' 1 bln euro salary case against government

Romania's High Court of Cassation and Justice is set to rule on a case where judges seek payment of remaining salary rights, with the Bucharest Court of Appeal having ordered the government to pay approximately 5 billion lei (1 billion euros). The verdict could set a precedent for judicial independence and fiscal policy, potentially straining the state budget if the government is required to pay.
