A citizen convicted by the Supreme Military Court applied for harmonisation of case law, alleging a conflict between Judgment No. 336/2014, delivered on his extraordinary appeal on grounds of unconstitutionality, and Judgment No. 464/2017, both of the Plenary of the Constitutional Court. The Court dismissed the appeal because the formal and substantive requirements for harmonisation were not met, stressing the importance of res judicata and legal certainty.
