Evaluation procedure for Supreme Court candidate Valeriu Pleșca has been discontinued

The candidate for the position of judge at the Supreme Court of Justice, lawyer Valeriu Pleșca, has notified the Judicial Vetting Commission and the Superior Council of Magistracy of his decision to withdraw from the competition.

Pursuant to Article 3 paragraph (1) letter b) of Law 65/2023, the Commission has discontinued the evaluation procedure concerning Valeriu Pleșca, as his withdrawal from the competition means he no longer holds the status of a candidate and, therefore, is no longer subject to evaluation.

The Commission will not resume the evaluation procedure for this candidate unless the Superior Council of Magistracy rejects the withdrawal request.
