Today, on 16.09.2024, at 10:00, the Appeal Chamber held the public hearing of case (JR) 52/2023, dated 07.11.2023, pertaining to the appeal of the Public Commissioner against decision no. 693, dated 10.08.2023 of the Independent Qualification Commission, related to the assessee Saimir Hysa.
The Public Commissioner, during the submission of the appeal grounds, stated that the assessee fails to prove the contrary of the burden of proof regarding his findings related to the proficiency assessment, the asset assessment, as well as a potential conflict of interest situation during the exercise of the office. The Public Commissioner requested that his appeal grounds be taken into consideration by the Chamber, deciding the amendment of decision no. 693, dated 10.08.2023, of the Independent Qualification Commission and the dismissal from office of the assessee.
During the submission of his objections, the assessee disputed the Public Commissioner’s appeal grounds, filing several documents, which the trial panel decided to accept as evidence, after the opening of the judicial investigation of the case. The assessee requested the Chamber to dismiss the appeal of the Public Commissioner and to uphold decision no. 693, dated 10.08.2023, of the Independent Qualification Commission.
Once the assessee responded to some questions of the International Observer of the International Monitoring Operation in the context of the review of the case, and after the parties declared that they had no additional procedural requirements, the trial panel decided to close the judicial investigation of the case and invited them to submit the final conclusions.
Since the Public Commissioner requested a sufficient time period for the preparation of the final conclusions, the trial panel decided to postpone the hearing to 23.09.2024, at 10:00.
The public hearing shall take place at the premises of the Appeal Chamber, at Boulevard “Dëshmorët e Kombit”, no. 3, Tirana.
