The man had temporarily lost his licence in March 2017. He died in October.

Recently Romanian court has ruled that a man who died last year should get his driver’s licence back after it overturned a ban.

This Court in the northern city of Iasi on Thursday confirmed the ruling that Valerian Vasiliu should have his licence returned and be reimbursed a fine he paid for speeding.

Accused Vasiliu was fined and temporarily lost his license in March, 2017, but appealed the punishment in court and won an interim ruling.

Accused died in October, 2017 before the ruling was final. Police nevertheless appealed, but this month lost their appeal.

Local lawyer Gianina Porosnicu, in comments to the Mediafax agency, blamed “a legal void.”

In an almost opposite situation last week, a Romanian man who had been officially declared dead lost his bid to have his death certificate cancelled.
