ELKB Recovering Litigating Attorney Fees Under Romanian Jurisdiction

Litigation costs including attorney fees are governed by articles 451 – 455 of Law no. 134/2010 regarding the Romanian Civil Procedure Code.

According to these provisions, the party who won the case is entitled to recover the attorney fees from the party who lost. Therefore the losing party has to bear apart from its attorney’s fees, also the attorney fees of the counterparty. If the claim is only partially admitted, the court establishes how much of the court costs are borne by each party.
