A right attempt to correct the bad texts in Justice, characterized yesterday's passage by the Parliament of a law on the 17th amendment of the Constitution, the Presidential candidate Achilleas Demetriades, speaking today to Maria Theristi, on POLITI radio.
In his radio statements, he noted that the problem with the delay in the administration of justice is one of the most important in the daily life of citizens.
The current effort to reform the judiciary is in two phases, one is to amend the Constitution so that further changes can be made and the second is expected next Thursday for two new laws on the functioning of the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeal.
Achilleas Dimitriades stressed that the amendment to extend the jurisdiction of the Administrative Courts is a very important issue, since we will have an Administrative Court not only in matters of procedure but also of substance, which will be able to exercise effective control over the administration of the courts with the authority to judge the correctness of any decision.
To further speed up the process, he also suggested the inclusion of the concept of "legal assistant" in the Court of First Instance. Also with regard to the appointments of judges, he indicated that it is now given the possibility to challenge them so that the review of the appointment of judges is not left out of reach and within the system of the particular body that appoints them.
