Today, on 13.07.2021, at 08:30, the Appeal Chamber held the public hearing of the case (JR) no. 3/2020, dated 14.01.2020 related to the appeal of the Public Commissioner filed against decision no. 200, dated 16.10.2019, of the Independent Qualification Commission related to the assessee Besim Hajdarmataj.
The presiding judge informed that, pursuant to Article 302 of the Code of Civil Procedure, the assessee has submitted a request to the Appeal Chamber, through which he requests additional time to prepare for the final conclusions. The presiding judge also communicated that the Public Commissioner has forwarded a denunciation to the Appeal Chamber filed in the name of the assessee and that the assessee is already aware of it.
The Public Commissioner stated that it is in the Chamber’s view to assess the request of the assessee asking for additional time, while regarding the denunciation, the PC stated that pursuant to Article 4, paragraph 2, of Law 84/2016, it should be considered in the overall assessment of the case, in function of the background assessment criterion.
During his submissions, the assessee objected to the comments made by the international observer of the International Monitoring Operation in the previous session, while he considered the denunciation not useful for the examination of the case.
The trial panel, after being acquainted with the original version of the denunciation and after withdrawing for consultation, decided not to take into consideration the denunciation, as it does not contain sufficient elements to be investigated.
The trial panel decided to accept the request of the assessee for additional time to be prepared for the final conclusions, by adjourning the hearing to 16.07.2021, at 10:30.
The public hearing shall take place at the premises of the Appeal Chamber, at: Bulevardi “Dëshmorët e Kombit”, nr.3. Tirana.
