Preamble

The judicial power in accordance with the Fundamental Law fulfils its constitutional role through a transparent judicial system consisting of independent, impeccable judges.

The judicial profession sets requirements for judges that are based on stricter moral rules than ethical norms generally accepted by society.

The objective of the programme is to provide assistance to witnesses subpoenaed to appear before the court confidently, being aware of their rights and without fear. Some of the good practices existing previously, but only used at a few courts are sought to be spread and strengthened on a national level by way of the programme.

Main achievements:

INFORMATION ON DATA PROTECTION AND PROCESSING

The Code of Administrative Court Procedure in force as from 1 January 2018 has brought about significant changes in the rules of procedure, with the range of cases to be adjudged in public administration lawsuits considerably extended.
