The Court rejected the claims of unconstitutionality filed by Senate Chairman Mircea Geoana and by 108 deputies of the opposition parties - social democrats, liberals and conservatives.

The opposition challenged a number of the law's articles which supposedly were in breach of the Constitution, such as provisions on education in the language of national minorities, university autonomy, incompatibilities imposed on university rectors and regulations on the property of private and religious education units, which the signatories said would entail nationalization.
