Today, on 04.10.2023, at 13:00, the Appeal Chamber held the public hearing of case (JR) 10/2023, dated 07.03.2023, pertaining to the appeal of the Public Commissioner against decision no. 595, dated 07.12.2022, of the Independent Qualification Commission, related to the assessee Arbër Çela.
Following the evaluation of the state of the acts deposited by the assessee in the previous hearing, the Public Commissioner noted that some of them are not in the form required by the law and as such, should not be accepted as evidence. As for the content of the acts, the Public Commissioner stated that she will maintain a position in their regard during the final conclusions.
The Public Commissioner also submitted her position on a public denunciation, leaving it to the AC trial panel to decide whether to initiate an investigation, since the information of this denunciation did not affect the final requests of the appeal.
The assessee responded to some clarifying questions of the case rapporteur with respect to the acts and some questions of the international observer regarding the case.
The trial panel decided to not investigate the denunciation, as it fails to satisfy the provisions of Article 53 of Law no. 84/2016 “On the transitional re-evaluation of judges and prosecutors in the Republic of Albania”.
The trial panel decided to accept as evidence all the acts filed by the assessee that fulfill the formal elements, as provided for by law, and invited the assessee to re-submit the other acts in the form required by the law before the next hearing, which shall take place on 26.10.2023, at 10:00.
During this hearing, the parties must be prepared 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.
