The Appeal Chamber held today, on 14.12.2020, at 12:00, the public hearing on the case no. (JR) 17/2020, dated 02.06.2020, corresponding to the appeal filed by the assessee Arjana Liço against decision no. 247, dated 05.03.2020, of the Independent Qualification Commission.
During her submissions, the assessee, Mrs. Arjana Liço stated that decision no. 247, dated 05.03.2020, of the Independent Qualification Commission upon which “the assessee loses the right to be appointed a judge or prosecutor of any level, a member of the High Judicial Council or of the High Prosecution Council, High Inspector Judicial or Prosecutor General, for a period of 15 years”, is unfair, meaningless and inapplicable. The assessee, Mrs. Liço said that this sanction could not be imposed on her, as the termination of her magistrate status was due to her retirement, which is a constitutional obligation, and not due to her resignation from duty.
For the purpose of the case review, the assessee submitted three acts, which she requested to be taken as evidence by the trial panel.
After withdrawing for consultation, the trial panel decided to accept the acts as evidence. When asked by the presiding judge, the assessee, stated that she had no additional requests. After this procedural moment, on behalf of the trial panel, the presiding judge declared the conclusion of the judicial review of the case, and asked the assessee whether she had any final request. In conclusion, the assessee requested the trial panel to accept her appeal.
At the end of this hearing, the presiding judge announced the adjournment of the hearing on Thursday, December 17, 2020, at 15:00 where the final decision on the case shall be announced.
The public hearing shall be held at the premises of the Appeal Chamber, at: Bulevardi “Dëshmorët e Kombit”, nr.3. Tirana.
