Zelenskyy approves creation of specialized administrative courts: district and appeal

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a law on the creation of a Specialized District Administrative Court and a Specialized Appeal Administrative Court.

This is evidenced by the data on the card of the bill No. 12368-1, Ukrainian News Agency reports.

According to the text, a Specialized District Administrative Court and a Specialized Appeal Administrative Court will be created within the framework of higher specialized courts (as a court of appeal reviews the decisions of the Specialized District Administrative Court).

The competition for the positions of judges of these courts should be held by the High Qualification Commission of Judges of Ukraine (HQCJ).

It should announce a competition for the positions of judges within one month after the law enters into force.

The competitions should take into account the features determined by the bill, with the involvement of the Expert Council (within three years).

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, Ukraine has committed to creating a new court within the framework of cooperation with the IMF.
