    The presiding judge informed the parties that at the request of the trial panel, the Prosecution office at Durres Judicial District Court had forward the relevant information in the framework of the submitted denunciations, such information forwarded accordingly to the parties at trial.

    Following the consent of the parties, the trial panel, consulted on the spot, decided to administer as evidence the responses of the Prosecution office at Durres Judicial District Court, and decided to close the judicial investigation of the case, inviting the parties to present their final conclusions.

    In the submission of his final conclusions, the Public Commissioner stated that he stands by all the appeal grounds and the submissions in the hearings, assessing that the evidence and the claims of the assessee failed to prove the contrary of the appeal grounds. The Public Commissioner requested the Appeal Chamber to amend decision no. 221, dated 10.12.2019, of the Independent Qualification Commission and the dismissal from office of the assessee, Mrs. Anita Jella.

    The assessee, Mrs. Anita Jella, objected the Public Commissioner’s appeal grounds, stating that they are unfounded in law and evidence and that his final request is in violation of the principle of proportionality and objectivity. Mrs. Anita Jella requested the upholding of decision no. 221, dated 10.12.2019 of the Independent Qualification Commission.

    Today, on 15.02.2022, at 10:00, the Appeal Chamber held the public plenary session of case (JD) no. 2/2021, dated 26.03.2021, corresponding to the appeal of the petitioner Markelian Kuqo, against decision no. 633, dated 10.12. 2020 of the High Judicial Council, “On the imposition of a disciplinary measure against Judge Markelian Kuqo”, and interested parties, the High Judicial Council and the High Inspector of Justice.

     

    Following the verification of the presence of the parties, the petitioner submitted a preliminary request, by which he requested the Chamber to ascertain its lack of substantive and functional competency to review his case and forward the acts to the Constitutional Court.

     

    When questioned by the presiding judge on their position on this request, the representatives of the High Judicial Council and the High Inspector of Justice stated that the request is unfounded in law and as such it should be rejected.

     

    The trial panel, after being consulted, pursuant to Article 179/7 of the Constitution, Article 5/3 of Law 84/2016 “On the transitional re-evaluation of judges and prosecutors in the Republic of Albania”, Article 71/3 of Law 8577/2000 “On the organization and functioning of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Albania”, referring as well to decision no. 35, dated 26.02.2021 of the Preliminary Review Panel of the Constitutional Court, decided to reject the request of the petitioner Markelian Kuqo.

     

    With regard to the other preliminary requests of the petitioner, by which he raised claims on the submissions of the HJC and HIJ and on the disciplinary proceedings acts administered by the HJC, the trial panel decided that these requests are not considered as preliminary requests, therefore they may be resolved during the trial of the case at the Appeal Chamber.

     

    After the rapporteur summarized the appeal of Mr. Markelian Kuqo, the presiding judge invited the petitioner to present his submissions to the court. The petitioner requested additional time to complete his appeal, viewing it from a new perspective after the AC interim decision. Given that this request was rejected by the trial panel on the grounds that the decision announced in today’s session does not affect the appeal, Mr. Markelian Kuqo stated only that he stands by his appeal.

     

    The interested subjects, HJC and HIJ, filed their submissions, requesting the Chamber to reject the appeal of the petitioner Mr. Markelian Kuqo and to uphold the decision no. 633, dated 10.12.2020 of the High Judicial Council “On imposing the disciplinary measure of dismissal from office of Judge Markelian Kuqo”.

     

    The petitioner addressed a series of questions to the representatives of the High Judicial Council and the representatives of the High Inspector of Justice related to the circumstances that led to this decision.

     

    In response to the request of the interested parties for a reasonable time for the preparation of the responses, the trial panel decided to postpone the court hearing until 11.03.2022, at 10:00.

     

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

    Following the verification of the presence of the parties, the appellant submitted two preliminary requests, by which he requested: finding the lack of competence of the Chamber to review his case, as well as considering invalid the representation act of the High Inspector of Justice.

    The trial panel, after being consulted, pursuant to Article 179/7 of the Constitution, Article 5/3 of Law 84/2016 “On the transitional re-evaluation of judges and prosecutors in the Republic of Albania”, Article 71/3 of Law 8577/2000 “On the organization and functioning of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Albania”, as amended, decided to reject the first request of the appellant Bujar Memia.

    As regards the request for considering invalid the representation act of the High Inspector of Justice, the trial panel decided to take time for its assessment and therefore, it decided to postpone the hearing for the next day, on February 18, 2022, at 11:30.

    In this hearing, the citizen V.V. was summoned in the capacity of witness, responding to the inquiries of the legal representative of the assessee, clarifying and verifying inquiries of the trial panel as well as the questions of the IMO International Observer.

    To the purpose of supporting his responses, the witness filed several written acts.

    In order to decide whether to admit as evidence the acts submitted by the testimony, in the context of the explanations of Mr. V.

    With regard to the appellant’s request for considering invalid the representation act of the High Inspector of Justice, the trial panel failed to reach the required majority under Article 72/2, in conjunction with Article 73/4 of Law 8577/2000 “On the organization and functioning of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Albania”, as amended, therefore, based on Article 39/2 of Law 8577/2000, it decided to reject the appellant’s request.

    Subsequently, the appellant submitted a new preliminary request by which he requested further acts from the High Prosecutorial Council and the High Inspector of Justice. As regards this request, the HPC representative stated that this institution does not possess any other acts rather than the file it forwarded to the Chamber and that includes all the acts forwarded by the HIJ and the ones produced by HPC.

    The HIJ representative clarified that the appellant requests information from the disciplinary proceedings report on matters whereby he was not requested to be charged with disciplinary liability.

    After hearing the explanations of the representatives of the High Prosecutorial Council and the High Inspector of Justice, the trial panel decided to reject the request of the appellant Bujar Memia to request acts from these institutions. Given that the court debate on the appellant’s prior request, as well as the explanations provided by the parties to the trial, took a relatively long time, taking also into account the fact that the court debate on the merits of the appeal could not be terminated within today’s hearing, the session was adjourned to March 15, 2022, at 10:00.

    Following the verification of the presence of the parties during which it was ascertained the absence of the appellant and her lawyer, the presiding judge informed the court that the appellant’s lawyer had requested the adjournment of the hearing given his incapacity to be present at the trial, due to another trial at Tirana Judicial District Court.

    The appellant was not present as the penitentiary institution was not formally requested to escort Mrs. Hoxha for today’s hearing.
