“SA during its meeting on 9-9-2024 decided the following:
A. The ratification of the decision of the Plenary Session of the Presidents of the Bar Associations of the Country for the implementation of universal abstinence on Monday 16-9-2024, taking into account the hasty and sketchy attempt to implement the new judicial charter by the Ministry of Justice from 16-9-2024 without having previously resolved vital problems created by the implementation of the new system, since to date, one week before the start of the judicial year:
1) the relevant amendments to the Civil and Criminal Procedure Code have not been voted,
2) the bills for the collection of legal fees for the new procedures and Courts have not been determined, after the implementation of the new system,
3) there is no process of personalized information by calling the parties from their homes about the new places, days and times of the already determined political cases in the abolished Magistrates’ Courts and the process of information through the Solon system remains incomplete (in the Courts of First Instance of the OSDPP phase one),
4) the possibility of regulating all the issues created by the new judicial charter by the Plenums of the judicial formations has not been provided by law
5) no rooms have been created in the premises of the former Athens Magistrate’s Court and the Athens Court of Appeal for the adjudication of cases and the maintenance of the record,
6) the issues arising from the abolition of the Magistrates’ Courts and the unification of the first degree of jurisdiction have not been settled, with the result that there is a risk of legal certainty, summary judgments and the loss of procedural and substantive rights and leading to incredible suffering for officials and co-officials of justice, court officials and citizens – litigants.
