The Parliament considered the information of the Supreme Court on the results of work for 2022

The Supreme Court submitted information on the work for 2022 to the Parliament. This issue was included in today's agenda of the plenary online meeting. The judiciary heard criminal and civil cases. The average workload for a criminal judge was 76 cases, in 2021 the figure was slightly higher – 87 cases, the report of the Supreme Court notes. In civil cases – 66 cases per judge and in cases of administrative offenses and cases of military personnel – an average of 80 cases, practically the same as last year.

The presented report refers to the implementation of the law "On ensuring access to information on the activities of the courts of the PMR". City and district courts post information about pending cases and texts of judicial acts on their websites. The information is published on the Telegram channel of the Supreme Court, which has about 200 subscribers. The deputies of the Committee on Legislation noted the relevance of posting information in messengers, and emphasized that now, unlike in previous years, court websites have more information about the subjects of the dispute and the progress of court cases.

The Supreme Court plans this year to submit to the Parliament the legislations that improve the Code of Civil Procedure, the Code of Criminal Procedure and the Code of Administrative Offenses, as well as the law “On ensuring access to information about the activities of the courts of the PMR”.

Parliamentarians asked questions of interest to the Chairman of the Supreme Court Adrian Penkovsky. They concerned the activities of city and district courts and cases under consideration. The question was discussed whether a deputy of the Supreme Council has the right to receive information about court decisions and on what basis they were taken. Adrian Penkovsky noted that parliamentarians can apply to the Supreme Court in order to obtain the necessary information more quickly.

Following the discussion of the report, the deputies and the leadership of the Supreme Court discussed plans for interaction. The information of the judicial body following the results of last year was taken into account by the parliamentarians.
