Judicial Council receives 90 requests to determine liability of 161 judges

The Parliamentary Committee on the Political System and Inter-Community Relations will review the Judicial Budget Council’s report on the execution of the 2025 judicial budget, as well as the Judicial Council’s annual report on its work for the same year.

According to the annual report, the Judicial Council received 90 new requests in 2025 to initiate proceedings to determine liability, involving 161 judges. A single request may concern multiple judges. For each request, a case file was opened and handled by a rapporteur committee, consisting of three Council members selected by a draw.

During the year, the Council also processed 425 complaints; 13 of these were deemed well-founded, while the rest were dismissed as unfounded.

The majority of the complaints stemmed from dissatisfaction with judicial decisions—essentially functioning as appeals. Some complaints concerned the protraction of court proceedings and the failure to adhere to statutory deadlines for procedural actions. Data from the annual reports on the work of the courts show that the country’s courts began 2025 with 134,729 unresolved cases. Throughout the year, they received 540,122 new cases, bringing the total number of cases handled to 674,851. Of these, 540,241 cases were resolved, while 134,610 remained unresolved at the end of the year. The reports also record 217 cases that were incorrectly registered.
