    Today the presentation of the book "Interpretations of the RA Law about
    insolvency (bankruptcy)" by the Chairmen of the Court of Cassation
    and Appeal Court Hovhannes Manoukyan and Tigran Mukuchyan was held.

    Those present at the ceremony mentioned that the Armenian law circles
    needed such interpretations very much as "Armenian lawyers, advocates
    and judges make use of literature published in Russia what very often
    doesn't correspondent to Armenian legislation." As the Deputy of the
    Justice Minister Anatoly Matevosyan said Armenian laws essentially
    differ from those in Russia and CIS. As a result of absence of
    interpretations of the laws the work of Armenian lawyers became
    several times harder.

    In the talk with Panorama.am correspondent Anatoly Matevosyan mentioned
    that while delivering a judgment the Judges must follow not only
    Armenian laws but also from their interpretations. "Of course a
    Judge must comment on this or that point of a law himself but he
    must have some basis, a kind of guidebook to follow especially now
    that according to the Constitution the Court of Cassation must secure
    similar use of law," he says.

    In his turn the Chairman of the Court of Cassation Hovhannes Manoukyan
    said that they wrote the interpretation of the "Law about insolvency"
    as "it is quite a complicated law and our lawyers needed practical
    help."

    In reply to Panorama.am's question whether or not Armenian Judges had
    much difficulty delivering judgment of cases concerning insolvency
    H. Manoukyan said: "Our Judges had certain difficulties up to 2001.

    After that they mastered the field already."

    Besides the legal procedures of "Law about insolvency" those terms
    of the Civil Code concerning with the field were also theoretically
    and practically interpreted in the work.

    The book was published with the financial assistance oft he USAID
    (United States Agency of International Development). It was published
    in limited number and was handed in to lawyers. /Panorama.am/
