Summary/Abstract: As a novelty for a Romanian Civil Code, as stated in the Explanatory Memorandum, "A special title (Title V, Book I) is devoted to the protection of personal non-property rights by specific legal means", or the personality rights occupy a central place within the category of personal non-property rights of the natural persons. With the drafting of art. 58 Civil Code, the Romanian legislator expressly nominates the right to dignity and includes it in the list of personality rights, through art. 72 par. (2) Civil Code clarifying the content of this right by referring to the honor and the reputation of the person. Any prejudice brought to the right to dignity makes the victim feel moral (psychic) suffering and expose her to the risk of exclusion from the social, professional and family sphere. Our study presents an examination of the jurisprudence of the Romanian courts in order to outline trends and guidelines in the matter of the right to dignity.
