A Constitutional Court decision resolved the great flux of civil suits in courts related with the car accident damage payment.
The Tirana Court noted that many cases are related with a legal conflict between the obligatory insurance in the transportation sector and the Supreme Court in 2007.
The Constitutional Court rules that the priority, at any case, is the law. The decision says that the judicial order is not an equal list of norms, but a hierarchic system, a pyramid of normative acts with the Constitution on top, which is the source for all other judicial norms, and which identifies the priority of the Albanian Parliament laws over all other acts.
This way, the Court has definitively ended this conflict that had become a burden, especially for the Insurance companies and their clients. Due to this conflict between the legal norms, the cases in Court were delayed and became object to critics for abuses. As consequence of these Constitutional reasoning are avoided the double standards that the Albanian courts held in the judicial practice, focusing on an unifying decision that interpreted a repealed law and that didn’t implement the law approved by the Albanian Parliament in 2009.
The stance of the Constitutional Court is in full accordance with the government’s stance and the Minister of Finances as an interested part of this Constitutional decision.
