The Supreme Court was informed about yesterday's statements of the Chairman and Members of the Committee on Institutional Affairs of the House of Representatives, related to the judges' backgrounds. According to these statements, the Judiciary "did nothing", "f you have seen the judges' backgrounds, we have seen them" and questioned the "existence of political will on the part of the judges to do so". There is also talk of "two measures and two weights".
The above statements, apparently, are due to lack of information of the Members of the Committee, since, the Supreme Court, in a relevant communication dated 15.12.2022, informed that "t has proceeded to set up a committee which has submitted a recommendation to the House for the preparation of relevant Rules. The House decided to accept the recommendation, the Rules are in the process of preparation and will be published in the near future". The Rules in question have been prepared and, after repeated discussions in Parliament, have been finalised. It will be published immediately after 1.7.2023, when the separation of the present Supreme Court into the Supreme Constitutional Court and the High Court, as well as the establishment of a Court of Appeal, will take place. It was considered imperative to publish it immediately after 1.7.2023, for purposes of mutual control of the Judiciary, as well as to cover the entire spectrum of the new judicial structure with the requirement of filing of tax returns.
The Supreme Court regrets not only what was negotiated without sufficient information but, in particular, the style of the statements, which is not consistent with the required institutional respect.
