The president's office informs that Serzh Sargsyan met with judicial
officials to discuss the effectiveness of the Court of Cassation, the
workload of courts and examination of cases within a reasonable time.
The president instructed to hold further discussions of
recommendations raised in the reports of the minister of justice, the
president of the court of cassation and the president of the chamber
of advocates and prepare a legislative package.
During the consultation several hindrances to examination of cases in
the first instance courts within a reasonable time were listed, namely
unequal workload of courts due to territorial jurisdiction, as well as
unequal distribution of cases among the judges of the same court.
Serzh Sargsyan paid special attention to implementation of other
instructions on the solution of issues brought up during previous
meetings and their importance in terms of regular operation of courts.
`Any issue relating to the activities of the court requires a serious
attitude. Approaching such issues with reservations is unacceptable
and unforgivable. The efficiency of the system of justice cannot and
must not depend on specific persons or imperfect and unreliable
performance of these people.'
`We have a clear guideline - the rule of law and justice in every
sphere of life. I am sure that we will overcome every hindrance on
this path and we will not accept indifference or excuses for failure.
It is time to understand that this process has no way back and we must
be in line with it. To put it more clearly, if they do not walk in the
same direction, they have no future,' said President Sargsyan.
`This is the second time we touched upon the issue of reasonable time
of examination of cases. We touched upon this issue a year ago, at
that time both objective and subjective problems of the judicial
system were revealed and instructions were given to eliminate them,'
Serzh Sargsyan said.
The head of state said it does not mean that cases should be heard
hastily at the expense of their quality but artificial protractions
are unacceptable.
During the meeting it was noted that subjective hindrances to
examination of cases within a reasonable time have not been eliminated
fully and they continue to have a negative effect on the workload of
judges.
As to objective issues, Serzh Sargsyan has instructed to amend the
legislation and proceeding from statistics increase the number of
judges, as well as take other measures of legislative nature to reduce
the workload of judges.
