Supreme Court rules horizontal promotion judges retain old pay scales under new judicial structure law.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court resolved a legal question regarding the application of the 2008 judicial reform law to judges promoted via horizontal promotion. The plaintiff argued that judges whose promotion requests were processed before the new law but whose appointments occurred after should retain their previous salary scales. The court determined that the legislature did not exclude this specific group from the new remuneration system, thereby establishing that they must adhere to the updated pay scales despite the timing of their appointment.
