panels

The Judges’ Section of Romania’s top judicial watchdog CSM requested the country’s Supreme Court, on Wednesday, to make a new selection of its five-judge panels, after its previous selection in November was suspended by the Bucharest Appeals Court.

All of the Supreme Court’s (ICCJ) five-judge panels have been suspended on Friday, with all of their cases postponed, after the Bucharest Appeal Court admitted a challenge made by Social Democrat Party (PSD) chairman Liviu Dragnea against the procedure to re-dra them earlier in November.
