Lawyer Eugen Safta-Romano, representing the family for free, said while there is no law explicitly allowing Romanians to sue the government, they are allowed to sue individuals and the institutions they represent. The law tries to discourage lawsuits. Plaintiffs have to pay a tax amounting to 10 percent of total damages sought before the trial even begins. That payment, so far, has been postponed in Iasmina's case. Safta-Romano said the Calinciuc family could not afford to pay taxes on the original damages requested.
