Disagreement over Bill on Attorney General's Decisions: Supreme Court Suggests Appeal Court Review

Disagreements are emerging regarding the bill on the review of decisions made by the Attorney General, which will be discussed in the Parliamentary Legal Committee. The Supreme Court disagrees with the provision of the bill assigning the review to itself and recommends that it be assigned to the Appeal Court. The Supreme Court argues that it has become a third-instance court and assigning the review could affect the trial of cases and violate the right to a fair trial. Furthermore, it points out that the bill does not limit the offenses for which the Attorney General's decision can be reviewed, which could lead to an overload of the court.
