Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the proceedings regarding the consent for a judge's continued service after the new law entered into force. The Chief Justice's Council had refused consent based on the judge's 2005 performance statistics, but the judge appealed to the Supreme Court. The court ruled that since the appeal was pending, the old procedural rules applied, and the new law's provision to terminate such proceedings automatically triggered the dismissal of the ongoing case.
