Today, on 07.06.2022, at 10:00, the Appeal Chamber held the public hearing of case (JR) 35/2020, dated 11.09.2020, pertaining to the appeal of the Public Commissioner against decision no. 255, dated 08.06.2020, of the Independent Qualification Commission, related to the assessee Ludovik Dodaj.
The Public Commissioner, while submitting the appeal grounds, held that the assessee is found in terms of inaccurate and insufficient declaration for the asset assessment and that he fails to reach a reliable level for his confirmation in office.
The Public Commissioner stated also that as regards the proficiency assessment, from the acts administered in the IQC file, he had found some elements which he requested the Chamber to consider in the re-evaluation of the assessee Ludovik Dodaj, on the basis of the overall assessment of the proceedings, under Article 4, paragraph 2 and Article 61/5 of Law no. 84/2016.
The Public Commissioner requested the Chamber to consider the appeal grounds and at the conclusion of the trial of the case, to decide the amendment of the IQC decision no. 255, dated 8.6.2020 and dismissal from office of the assessee.
The legal representative of the assessee objected the appeal grounds, claiming that they are unfair and stated that the assessee has convincingly explained the legitimacy of his income. To support the submissions, the assessee filed several acts, which he requested the trial panel to collect them as evidence, and requested the Chamber to partially reopen the judicial investigation of the case.
After being consulted, the trial panel decided to open the judicial investigation and administer as evidence the acts listed by the legal representative of the assessee in today’s hearing. The trial panel, by a majority vote, decided also to request a case file from the Durres Judicial District Court, to the purpose of the consideration of the case.
The Public Commissioner, when asked by the presiding judge with regard to the evidence administered by the trial panel, specified that he reserved the right to make a statement after being acquainted with the case file which the interim decision of the trial panel referred to.
The trial panel, pending the administration of the case file by the Durres Judicial District Court, decided to postpone the court hearing until 27.06.2022, at 10:00, and invited the parties to prepare also for the final conclusions of the case.
The public hearing will take place in the premises of the Appeal Chamber, at Boulevard “Dëshmorët e Kombit”, no. 3, Tirana.
