Case No. 990/151/24 dated 01/04/2025

Here is the translation of the summary of the court decision:

1. Subject of the dispute: Challenging the decision of the High Qualification Commission of Judges (HQCJ) to refuse PERSON_1 a recommendation for a judge’s position due to alleged non-compliance with integrity criteria.

2. Main arguments of the court:
– The HQCJ did not provide convincing evidence of the candidate’s lack of integrity
– The plaintiff voluntarily disclosed information about his wife’s lease relations
– Absence of clear references to legislative violations in the HQCJ’s decision
– Formal approach by the Commission in assessing the candidate’s actions without considering the context

3. Court decision: Recognize the HQCJ’s decision as unlawful, cancel it, and oblige the commission to conduct a repeated interview with the candidate.

Note: The court deviated from the previous HQCJ practice regarding assessing candidates’ integrity for a judge’s position, emphasizing the need for a deep and comprehensive analysis of circumstances.
