Consensus for Administrative Court Draft

Being a law that establishes a standard that is being used for the first time in Albania, the discussion took a long time and spurred long and harsh debates between the majority and opposition. But both parties left the disagreements behind for the last two articles, which define the structure and the organization of the court, and definitively approved the Administrative Court law. Pleased about this step, the Socialist member of the Commission, Armando Subashi, who has intensively worked for the draft-law, shows how the Administrative Court will be organized.

“The Administrative Court has been perceived in three levels: the First Degree, the Appeal and the Supreme Court. The First Degree will have six District Courts with one Appeal and one special Administrative College at the Supreme Court. We think that we have also pleased the business groups with this law, starting from the judge associations, the lawyers etc. I hope and believe that we have done the best possible in order to give justice through the Administrative Court”, Subashi declared.

This decision creates an obligatory amend for the Supreme Court law, which means that it will have more members.

“We underlined the need of an Administrative College at the Supreme Court, which will be a special college. This means that the Administrative Judges will be specialized in this area and during their entire mandate, they will lead only administrative cases”, Subashi declared.

 The Administrative Court law is expected to be voted next week in Parliament, by fulfilling this way one of the 12 EU recommendations for Albania.
