The Public Commissioner was present today at the Appeal Chamber while continued the judicial review of the appeal filed against the Decision no. 273/2020, of the Independent Qualification Commission, of the assessee Ms. Alkelina Gazidedja, judge at Tirana Administrative Court of Appeal.

The Presiding judge after verifying the presence of the parties in the hearing, addressed to the Public Commissioner to present his position regarding the two decisions of the High Inspector of Justice (HIJ) to initiate and suspend the disciplinary investigation with indicative against the magistrate Alkelina Gazidedja, judge at Tirana Administrative Court of Appeal, referring to the decision of the Independent Qualification Commission.

The Public Commissioner submitted that the aforementioned acts do not affect the appeal grounds which are related to the proficiency assessment criterion of the assesssee.

The assessee, from her part, requested from the adjudication panel to file the two decisions of HIJ and, thereafter, submitted her objections to the allegations raised in a denunciation recently filed in the Institution of  Public Commissioners. In view of this denunciation, she filed two more court acts.

The adjudication panel decided to accept in the capacity of evidence the acts deposited in the hearing by the assessee and, after the parties confirmed that they had no prior requirements concerning   the process, decided to close the judicial review, announcing the adjournment of the hearing on November 9, 2021, at 10.00 a.m., in order to provide time to the parties to prepare for the final conclusions.
