Lawyers in Fier, Korca and Kurbin have announced a boycott of court hearings, opposing the new court map instead of being passed to the Council of Ministers.
Fier lawyers have announced a boycott of court cases for almost a week.
The head of the Chamber of Advocates in Fier, Ermal Hamataj in a statement to the media said that from today in Albania there are 3000 lawyers who will boycott court hearings as the last attempt to “change the mind” of the HJC for the so-called “New Court Map”.
Hamataj said that only security measures are not boycotted, while if the Ministry of Justice and the High Council of the Judiciary do not change this law, then the steps they will take will continue for a month.
While the head of the Bar Association in Korça, Arben Lena in a statement to the media stressed that the new court map endangers the increase of self-judgment.
The day before, the Steering Committee of the Albanian Bar Association asked its members to boycott all court proceedings, with the exception of precautionary measures planned for trial, at all levels of the courts, including the proceedings planned in The Supreme Court from 14 to 17 June.
According to the Chamber of Advocates, the new court map is in grave violation of the fundamental rights and freedoms of the individual, specially protected by the Constitution.
This decision is emphasized in the reaction of the Chamber of Advocates severely violates and limits the access to justice of the individual as well as the process of realization of protection in criminal, civil and administrative cases.
Lawyer Saimir Vishaj came out against the decision to boycott, saying that the deadline for this strike is very short and the damage it could cause in relation to its purpose is relevant.
Lawyers say they can not provide their service to citizens as there is a lack of infrastructure and the inability of citizens to move.
The decision to draft and implement the new court map has received opposition from business and notaries, calling it a very radical step.
The new Judicial Map provides for 12 courts of general jurisdiction and one Court of Appeal in Tirana, so 10 courts are expected to be merged.
