At today’s 427th session, the Judicial Council reviewed and adopted the report from the working visit to the Skopje Appellate Court, in which it was established that the legal deadlines for handling in the cases “Target-Fortress”, “Tresor”, “Transporter” and ” Alpha”, where the complexity and volume of the cases, as well as sick leave and vacations of the judges, were cited as reasons.
According to the member of the Judicial Council TanjaChacharova-Ilievska, there is no justification that the decision was not made by the Appellate Court for nine months, which is an unreasonably long period during which no decision was made on an urgent case.
The President of the Judicial Council VesnaDameva said that the report is complete and that it is irrelevant whether there were justified reasons for the extended deadlines.
