Abstract: In this paper we are trying to offer those practicing law a theoretical and practical approach
of some  dispositions in Law  202/  October 25,  2010 regarding  some  measures  to accelerate the
adjudication of matters, known as the Law on the Small Justice Reform, that amended and completed
the Code  of Civil Procedure. The law on accelerating justice was adopted only three months and 11
days after the New Code of Civil procedure was published. This law is important due to the content of
some  dispositions regarding certain institutions of civil procedural law, that have the role intended by
the Romanian  legislator, to accelerate the determination of matters, institutions that are not found in
the New  Code. The reform (change) in the Romanian  civil trials took into consideration the respect of
some  principles such as the access to justice, equality of the parties in civil lawsuits, the right to due
and fair trial as well as the fact that any reform has to guarantee that the judicial system is efficient,
answers the necessity of transparency and democracy. Still, the application of the new dispositions of
civil procedure, beginning  with Law   no. 59/1993   and until the coming   into force of law  on
accelerating the determination of matters, namely the past 17 years, the amendments brought to the
Code  of Civil procedure have not always been  beneficial for the Romanian litigant by the fact that
they determined different interpretations leading thus to a non unitary judicial practice even within the
same  institution. The present law  is not  safe either from  critics that some theoreticians and
practitioners of law have expressed, being interested in accomplishing the purpose  the Romanian
legislator has set in that law. In  this paper, the authors aim  at analyzing  the impact  of  the
abovementioned   law, regarding the material competence  of the tribunal in trials and the requests
regarding claims with the object of payment up to 2000 lei; adjudicating the objection to jurisdiction
of the instance and the effect of non invocating it on legal basis; the solutions that the appeal court
can issue. At the same time, without getting into theoretical disputes regarding these issues raised in
this study (to avoid issuing decisions that could be given in applying the same norm of procedure,
obviously with negative effect on the litigant parties), we will try to propose solutions in case they
will be transposed into judicial norms of civil procedure (until the coming into force of the New Code
of civil procedure) will have a positive effect in the accelerated development of the Romanian civil
