The chief justices and judges of the vacant positions in the Court
of Appeal and the First Instance Court must be appointed till June
20, 2008.
According to the Constitution, Karabakh must have a three-tier judicial
system which consists of the First Instance Court, the Court of Appeal
and the Supreme Court. The highest court is the Supreme Court which
includes the Constitutional Court and the Court of Cassation which
will start operating from June 1, 2009.
"One of the guarantees of the independence of the judicial power will
be the Council of Justice which will replace the amorphous Magistrate
Council," said the adviser to the NKR president Volodya Osipyan in
an interview with the Azat Artsakh.
The creation of the new judicial system will start from the
establishment of the Court of Appeal. According to the law, there
will be one Court of Appeal which has 6 judges and the chief justice,
whose jurisdiction will include the entire republic.
>From July 1, 2008 the First Instance Court of Kashatagh will be
dissolved, and the NKR First Instance Court will be reorganized into
the NKR First Instance Court of Common Jurisdiction. The first instance
court will have chief justice and 9 judges.
