Today, on the second day, continues the boycott of lawsuits across the country against the new court map that dissolves the courts. Yesterday over 800 processes did not take place.
The head of the Chamber of Advocates Maks Haxhiaj appealed to the government to reflect as their protest will escalate.
What the new court map provides The
Ministry of Justice has agreed on the new map where from 22 courts of first instance become 13 and from 6 Appeals become 1. Within a few days, this map will go to the government for approval.
13 courts of first instance, 2 administrative courts and 1 appellate court for the whole country. This was finally the proposal of the High Judicial Council for the new judicial map in the country after months of consultations with stakeholders.
The only difference from the previous proposal is the addition of a first instance court in Saranda that was removed with the previous proposal. The HJC has approved the draft which is already expected to be submitted for opinion to the Council of Ministers, the High Council of the Prosecution, the General Prosecution and the Ministry of Finance.
The new decision merges the courts of first instance in Tropoja, Kruja, Lushnje, Pogradec, Mat, Përmet, Kurbin, Kavaja, Puka.
