Citizens’ access in justice severely hindered

The Administrative Tribunal Union attributes the excessive accumulation of cases to the social-economic instabilities expressed in the laws and their enactment, while simultaneously characterizing the unilateral preoccupation with the quantitative performance of the courts as ‘dangerous diversion’. 

According to a Union decree, “the legislative practice of enacting more and more obstacles on the access of citizens in courts, as well as the diminished judicial control, especially on administrative acts that lay economic burdens in order to ‘accelerate’ and cover the cash demands of the State Budget, constitute the access to courts difficult, ineffective and often in vain”.

The Administrative Tribunal Union also stresses that “the realization of circumstances of actual judicial independence within the framework of Justice, which will allow and inspire the judge to perform their difficult task, is essential. The undique stranglehold imposed on the judges to culminate their quantitative performance beyond their human limits and the security limits of the adjudicatory system, as well as the establishment of conditions of hierarchical submission of the judges, directly undermine the judicial operations”.
