Today, on 23.05.2022, at 10:00, the Appeal Chamber held the public hearing of case (JR) 11/2020, dated 18.02.2020, pertaining to the appeal of the assessee Marjana Velçani against decision no. 222, dated 12.12.2019, of the Independent Qualification Commission.
The presiding judge informed the parties that the assessee had been forwarded the documentation filed by a second level bank, at the request of the Chamber, in view of the consideration of the case.
The assessee confirmed that she was acquainted with this documentation, but, as it was incomplete, she requested the Chamber to repeat the request to the bank, or to accept as evidence the acts that the assessee was provided with through a request addressed to this bank.
After being consulted, the trial panel decided to accept as evidence these acts filed by the assessee.
The assessee, Mrs. Marjana Velçani was heard by the trial panel as she presented in detail her objections to the decision of the Independent Qualification Commission, which she claimed was unfounded in evidence and in complete contradiction with the law.
In support of her claims, the assessee, Mrs. Marjana Velçani requested the Chamber to summon witnesses, experts and collect other additional acts as evidence, to the purpose of the review of the case.
The assessee responded to some clarifying questions of the rapporteur judge of the case.
The trial panel, after being consulted, pursuant to Article 49, paragraphs 6 (a) and (c), of Law 84/2016, decided to reject the request of the assessee for collecting new evidence (summoning as witnesses, experts and new acts), considering them unnecessary and the means chosen for proving certain facts as inappropriate for the trial.
Once the assessee stated that she had no other procedural requirements, the trial panel decided to close the judicial investigation of the case.
Finally, the assessee requested the amendment of decision no. 222, dated 12.12.2019 of the Independent Qualification Commission and confirmation in office of the assessee, Mrs. Marjana Velçani.
The trial panel withdrew to make the final decision, to be announced on May 26, 2022, at 09:30.
The public hearing will take place in the premises of the Appeal Chamber, at Boulevard “Dëshmorët e Kombit”, no. 3, Tirana.
