I am trying to understand whether the changes in the evaluation of candidates for judicial positions will apply to existing judges. Will they be able to appeal the results of previous evaluations?
I am interested in whether the practice of regular evaluation of judges, which the HQCJ plans to introduce, contradicts the principles of judicial independence and whether it can affect the objectivity of judicial decisions? Is this evaluation considered legal from the point of view of Ukrainian legislation?
If the High Qualification Commission of Judges of Ukraine has not confirmed the suitability of a judge for the position held, does the High Council of Justice have the right to cancel the decision of the HQCJ on submitting a petition for dismissal from the position held?
Do you think it meets the requirements of the law and ensures impartiality for representatives of public associations to evaluate a judge's "knowledge of the case" during the consideration of a case without being familiar with the details of the case?
What legal consequences may there be for a judge if he refuses to participate in regular evaluation under the new Regulations?
Do I believe that unifying the requirements for candidates for the positions of judges of different instances is fair?
