The HCJ also decided to postpone consideration of the issue of approving the staff list of the High Council of Justice for 2023.
Also, the HCJ decided to postpone consideration of the issue of distribution of cases (materials), except for complaints about a judge's disciplinary misconduct and complaints about the decision to bring a judge or prosecutor to disciplinary responsibility.
The next meeting will be held on January 23.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, the 19th Extraordinary Congress of Judges elected all 8 members of the High Council of Justice according to their quota, which unblocked the work of the HCJ, which had been blocked for almost a year.
Previously, the Verkhovna Rada has transferred part of the functions of the High Council of Justice to the Council of Judges and the head of the Supreme Court because of the High Council of Justice’s inability to exercise its powers.
The work of the High Council of Justice has been blocked since Thursday, February 24, as 10 members of the High Council of Justice resigned early.
