The Chamber of Advocates opposes the new court map that has fewer appellate courts in the districts and in protest demands a boycott of trials from Tuesday to Friday.
The Steering Committee of the Albanian Bar Association, after being recognized, reviewed the decision of the High Judicial Council dated 10.06.22, by which the new court map was approved.
The Steering Committee finds and presents to the general public that the decision to approve the new judicial map is in serious violation of the fundamental rights and freedoms of the individual, specially protected by the Constitution. This decision severely affects and limits the access to justice of the individual as well as the process of realization of protection in criminal, civil and administrative cases.
We note with regret that this decision is in line with and in support of a number of violations found in criminal, civil and administrative proceedings conducted in courts of all levels.
This decision openly ignored all the problems and arguments put forward by the governing bodies of the Central and local Chambers during the process of discussing the draft at the national level, a fact which clearly showed the formality, prejudice and abuse in not considering the opinion of stakeholders, including the Albanian Bar Association as one of the main actors in the justice delivery process.
Based on this situation, the Albanian Chamber of Advocates calls on the Minister of Justice and through him we ask him to forward to the government, as a decision-making institution, all the arguments presented in defense of the interests of natural and legal persons, concluding the non-approval. the above decision submitted by the High Judicial Council.
Occurring in this situation, the Steering Committee in support of the preliminary decision taken by the General Council of the Albanian Bar Association as a first step decided:
1. To boycott all court proceedings, with the exception of precautionary measures, scheduled for trial, at all levels of the courts, including the proceedings planned in the High Court from 14 to 17 June.
2. The executive bodies of the Central Chamber and the local chambers are in charge of the execution of this decision.
3. The non-implementation of this decision by the lawyers constitutes a serious violation of the legal framework on the profession of lawyer, and consequently will be disciplined.
