Today the Expert Council that evaluates candidates for the Specialized District Administrative Court and the Specialized Administrative Appeals Court reviewed another 16 candidates for judgeships at these courts.

All the candidates were deemed untrustworthy, and therefore their candidacies must be reviewed at joint sessions of the High Qualification Commission of Judges and the Ethics Council.

Recall that last week the Expert Council reviewed another 22 candidates, of whom 19 were found untrustworthy, and 3 were not very trustworthy.

So currently none of the 38 candidates qualifies as trustworthy.

In principle, both competitions can be halted at this stage. And, evidently, the rules need to be rewritten.

Because when everyone is bad, the problem is clearly not the candidates.

Сьогодні Експертна рада, яка перевіряє кандидатів до Спеціалізованого окружного адміністративного суду та Спеціалізованого апеляційного адміністративного суду, розглянула ще 16 кандидатів на посади суддів цих судів.

Всі кандидати були визнані недоброчесними, а тому їх кандидатури мають бути розглянуті на спільних засіданнях ВККС та Етичної ради.

Нагадаємо, що минулого тижня Експертна рада розглянула ще 22 кандидати, з яких 19 були визнані недоброчесними, а 3 - не дуже доброчесними.

Тобто наразі жоден з 38 кандидатів не підпадає під визнання його доброчесним.

В принципі, обидва конкурси можна зупиняти вже на цьому етапі. І, вочевидь, переписувати правила.

Тому що коли погані всі, то проблема точно не в кандидатах.

The Grand Chamber of the Supreme Court issued an important decision regarding the qualification assessment of judges for fitness to hold their position. By this decision, the GC SC determined at which stage a judge may challenge the High Qualification Commission of Judges’ decision finding them unfit for their position. When the HQCJ adopts a negative decision based on a judge’s assessment as to fitness for their position, it submits a proposal to the High Council of Justice for the judge’s dism...

The Office of the President published two decrees appointing judges. Earlier last week four more were published. It appears that judges are being appointed according to two criteria: 1. “Lost” decrees from 1-7 years are located, signed, and published. 2. New submissions from the HCJ are processed as quickly as possible, decrees are signed, and also published. This indicates a change in the Office of the President’s policy on judicial appointments after the Mudra-Mykitas recordings exposed storie...
