The transparency of the judiciary has increased thanks to people’s access to judges’ decisions and he judicial act is now performed with more objectivity and within the boundaries and deadlines set by law. The opinion was shared with IPN by the head of the Superior Council of Magistrates (CSM) in a interview on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of Moldova’s independence.
“The act of justice has gained society’s trust thanks to its transparency and quality. I admit there is still a lot of work to do, but we putting all our efforts into achieving the goals we set”, assured Victor Micu.
The CSM chairman says that during 25 years of independence, the judiciary has undergone many positive changes – the quality of the judicial act has improved, the conditions necessary to perform the judicial act in a timely manner and in accordance with the law are in place, most of the national legislation has been adapted to the European acquis. And there are other accomplishments as well.
Victor Micu admits that the judicial reform still has some unachieved goals, but assured that a lot of work is put into correcting this. “I must stress that the large majority of judges are doing their job with fairness. There are however some problems regarding the quality of the judicial act, like the deadlines for examining cases, because of the high number of files. For example, in 2015, our 430 judges have examined 250,000 files. I think this is an impressive number”, explained Micu.
