The Special Appeal Chamber held on 02.02.2026, at 13:00, the public hearing of case (JR) 46/2024, dated 11.11.2024, pertaining to the appeal of the Public Commissioner against decision no. 803, dated 01.10.2024 of the Independent Qualification Commission, related to the assessee Periand Teta.
The presiding judge announced that Article 179/b, paragraph 8 of the Constitution of the Republic of Albania has set forth the transfer of powers from the Public Commissioner to the Head of the Special Prosecution Office. Pursuant to Article 199, paragraph 2 of the Civil Procedure Code, the trial panel decided the procedural transfer from the Public Commissioner to the Head of the Special Prosecution Office, represented in this case upon special authorization by the prosecutor of the Special Prosecution Office, Mr. Adnan Xholi, present at the hearing.
During the submission of the appeal grounds, the representative of the Head of the Special Prosecution Office requested the trial panel the amendment of decision no. 803, dated 01.10.2024 of the Independent Qualification Commission, which confirmed in office the assessee, Mr. Periand Teta, and the consideration of the case in accordance with the provisions of Article 58, paragraph 2, of Law 84/2016 “On the transitional re-evaluation of judges and prosecutors in the Republic of Albania”.
The assessee argued in detail the grounds why this appeal should be legally considered unclear, incomplete and in violation of the principle of legal certainty, and requested the upholding of decision no. 803, dated 01.10.2024 of the Independent Qualification Commission, which confirmed him in office with the status of legal assistant, following a positive assessment in all three criteria, assets, proficiency and background.
To the purpose of the consideration of the case, the assessee also responded to several questions of the case rapporteur.
Subsequently, since the parties had no procedural requests, the trial panel invited them to present their final conclusions.
The representative of the Head of the Special Prosecution Office stated that, after hearing the reasoning of the assessee, the judicial debate, the request of Mr. Periand Teta, taking into account the fact that Mr. Teta has successfully completed the vetting process in all three criteria, assessed the provisions of Article 58, paragraph 2 of Law no. 84/2016 are inapplicable and stated finally the withdrawal from the appeal.
After hearing the final request of the representative of the Head of the Special Prosecution Office, the assessee finally requested the trial panel the dismissal of the examination of case (JR) 46/2024, dated 11.11.2024.
After hearing the final requests of the parties, the trial panel withdrew in chambers to make the final decision on the case, which it shall announce on 03.02.2026, at 09:30.
