    On 05.12.2022, at 10:00, the Appeal Chamber held the public hearing of case (JR) 47/2020, dated 22.10.2020, pertaining to the appeal of the Public Commissioner against decision no. 264, dated 17.06.2020, of the Independent Qualification Commission, related to the assessee Elona Toro.

     

    During the submission of the appeal grounds, the Public Commissioner requested the Chamber to reopen the judicial investigation to the purpose of conducting a financial analysis based on a reassessment of the financial capacities of the related persons and other persons related to the assessee. As regards the denunciations, the Public Commissioner held that they do not contain sufficient grounds to be added to the appeal.

     

    During the submission of objections related to the grounds of the appeal, the assessee requested the Chamber to open the judicial investigation and to collect as evidence the new acts she filed during today’s hearing, along with the submissions.

     

    After being consulted, the trial panel decided to open the judicial investigation of the case and to accept as evidence the documents filed by the assessee during today’s hearing. With regard to the denunciations, the panel assessed that they do not meet the criteria of Article 53 of Law 84/2016 “On the re-evaluation of judges and prosecutors in the Republic of Albania” and therefore, they shall not be subject to further investigation by the Chamber.

     

    Upon a majority vote, the trial panel decided to accept the request of the Public Commissioner that the AC conducts a preliminary financial analysis, and it shall make available to the parties by December 15, 2022.

     

    In order to provide sufficient time to the parties to debate on the preliminary financial analysis, the trial panel decided to postpone the hearing to December 21, 2022, at 10:00.

     

    The public hearing shall take place in the premises of the Appeal Chamber, at Boulevard “Dëshmorët e Kombit”, no. 3, Tirana.

    The Public Commissioner, during the submission of the appeal grounds, requested the Chamber the reopening of the judicial investigation of the case and, eventually, the administration of the necessary evidence, holding that the overall evaluation of the three criteria by the Chamber may lead to an assessment different from the one reached by the Independent Qualification Commission.

    In response to the grounds of the appeal, the assessee submitted several new documents, which she requested the court to be administered as evidence.

    After being consulted, the trial panel decided to reopen the judicial investigation of the case, accepting as evidence all the documents filed by the assessee during today’s hearing, but one document that failed to be submitted in the form required by law.

    Once the parties stated that they had no other procedural requests, the trial panel decided to close the judicial review of the case and invited the parties to present their final conclusions.

    Since the Public Commissioner requested necessary time to prepare the final conclusions, the panel decided to postpone the hearing on 19.12.2022, at 10:00.

    During the submission of the final conclusions, the Public Commissioner stated that the assessee is found in terms of inaccurate and insufficient declaration of assets and that she failed to prove the contrary of the appeal grounds, even with respect to the proficiency assessment. In conclusion, the Public Commissioner requested the Chamber the amendment of decision no. 257, dated 12.06.2020, of the Independent Qualification Commission and the dismissal from office of the assessee, Ms. Miranda Andoni.

    Once the Public Commissioner responded to some clarifying questions of the case rapporteur regarding the asset assessment, the assessee, Ms. Miranda Andoni submitted her final conclusions on the case.

    While contesting the Public Commissioner’s position, the assessee held that she has reached a reliable level in the asset and background assessment and a qualifying level in the proficiency assessment. Finally, the assessee requested the upholding of decision no. 257, dated 12.6.2020, of the Independent Qualification Commission.

    The trial panel, after hearing the conclusions of the parties, closed the judicial review and withdrew to make the final decision, to be announced on 20.12.2022, at 14:00.

    The public hearing will take place in the premises of the Appeal Chamber, at Boulevard “Dëshmorët e Kombit”, no. 3, Tirana.

    The Appeal Chamber held on 21.12.2022, at 10:00, the public hearing of case (JR) 47/2020, dated 22.10.2020, pertaining to the appeal of the Public Commissioner against decision no. 264, dated 17.06.2020, of the Independent Qualification Commission related to the assessee Elona Toro.

    Following the interim decision of the previous hearing, the parties debated on the preliminary financial analysis carried out by the Chamber. During the debate, the case rapporteur addressed some clarifying questions to the Public Commissioner, as well as to the assessee, Ms. Elona Toro, who requested a reasonable time period to prepare the responses to the questions.

    As regards the two public denunciations, the Public Commissioner stated that they do not contain sufficient grounds for further investigations, while the assessee stated that she has lodged with the Chamber the documents that rebut the claims raised in these denunciations.

    After listening to the positions of the parties and evaluating the acts filed by the assessee, the trial panel decided to not investigate ex officio these denunciations, as they do not meet the requirements of Article 53 of Law 84/2016 “On the transitional re-evaluation of judges and prosecutors in the Republic of Albania”.

    The panel accepted the request of the assessee for a sufficient time period, deciding to postpone the hearing to January 10, 2023, at 10:00. During this hearing, the judicial debate about the preliminary financial analysis will continue, and 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 “Deshmoret e Kombit”, no. 3, Tirana.
