Romanian court tells man he is not alive ...

[quote] In a case reminiscent of a Kafka novel, a Romanian court has ruled that a 63-year-old man is dead despite what would appear to be convincing evidence to the contrary: the man himself appearing alive and well in court.

Constantin Reliu asked the court in the town of Barlad to overturn a death certificate obtained by his wife after he had spent more than a decade in Turkey, during which time he was out of contact with his family. The court told him he was too late, and would have to remain officially deceased. [/quote]

Maybe he needs to go to a 3rd country and play dead again, because clearly if he WERE dead, he culdn't PRETEND to be dead, ergo, he is alive.

@Mamapolo2016 Sound reasoning 🤔

reflectingmonkey · 51-55, M

the man is obviously dead and just pretending to be alive.

So, if he had been on time, they could've overturned his death? o.O

I'd go on a crime spree... 😁

That's bonkers! He ought to bring that to a higher court.

@wafertime He can't. You can't appeal death ...

@WoodyAq How about he files for a whole new separate case, such as correction of a public document or something. There must be something he can do.

WoodyAq · M

@wafertime He could try to be born again ...

Those Turks can be pretty strict. This is an example of how silly laws can be.

So... no more taxes?

WoodyAq · M

@AcidBurn That was my first thought. But apparently he can't get a job, so the point is moot.
