Abstract: As a result of a media information regarding the activities of the Equality and Human Rights Action Centre (ACTEDO) from Cluj-Napoca, Mrs. C.A. has addressed to this organization to obtain judicial assistance, pro bono, in the case of her husband, C.I., on the cancellation of the disability certificate that was issued by the Romanian competent authorities. The organization accepted the case and sent it to the associate lawyers, following the legal procedures. We have accepted this case as the Romanian reality shows the need of a prompt judicial intervention in the area of social protection, being necessary to involve in the recognition and protection of the rights of the persons with disabilities. In many cases, they find themselves in vulnerable situations which prevent them to defend legally, therefore the broad rights the legislator concluded to offer them remain only on paper.
