The New Romanian Civil Code, entered into force on 1 October 200, adopted by LawNo. 287/2009 and implemented by Law No. 71/2011 integrates the personality rights in to
non-patrimonial rights. Considering that personality rights cannot be confused with personal
rights and does not integrate the heritage of the person, shall be assessed better their naming
extrapatrimonial rights.
The measures which may be ordered by the Court for the protection of these rights
consists either in the prohibition of unlawful deed, whether it is imminent, or cessation of the
infringement and the prohibition for the future if it lasts still or finding illicit character of the
committed offence, if disturbing that produced it subsists. The exception to the rule is given in
cases of infringement of the rights of non-patrimonial rights by exercising the right to free
speech, according to which the Court cannot order banning of illicit acts.
In the first part of the article we present a brief analysis of personality rights, and in
the second part we present the analysis of extrapatrimonial rights (non-patrimonial rights)
defenses.
