The Kalavryta Bar Association denounces the Aegio Association, regarding the Court of First Instance in Kalavryta, “for an anti-collegiate and immoral attack”.
THE ANNOUNCEMENT
“We have to respond as the Kalavryta Bar Association to the unfair, anti-college and immoral attack that we have been receiving systematically lately from the Aegis Bar Association regarding the Kalavryta Court of First Instance.
We remind, for those who do not know or forget, that the historical Court of First Instance of Kalavryta was founded in 1925 and since then the areas of the current municipal units of Aegira and Akrata have been under its jurisdiction.
The Court of First Instance of Aigio was founded in the year 1981, i.e. almost 55 years later and since then there has never been an issue of detaching the above municipal units from the First Court of Kalavryta and attaching them to the First Court of Aigio.
This is the reality that the Aegian Bar Association deliberately and fraudulently hides with the relevant press release it issued, showing that a real situation of almost ONE HUNDRED (100) years was recently created, violating every ethical requirement and behaving like a predator, since it clearly knows ( if he does not seek it) that the separation of the important number of cases of the Municipal Units of Aegira and Akrata from the local competence of the First Court of Kalavryta and their subordination to the First Court of Aegis would mathematically lead to its abolition.
Recently, the General Assembly of the Bar Association of Aigio, by decision, requested that the Municipal Units of Aegira and Akrata be annexed to the Court of First Instance of Aigio, a decision which we denounced to our institutional bodies and was unanimously condemned by the Plenary Assembly of the Presidents of the Bar Associations of the country.
The expressed political will of the Ministry of Justice and its assurances in every direction was and is not to abolish any Court of First Instance and not to change its territorial jurisdiction. In this context and with strong arguments, our Association fought its fight together with the other bar associations of the country, without ever turning once morest anything. In a spirit of unity and camaraderie, he demanded the obvious.
Unfortunately, the Aegis Bar Association, escaping from this logic, did the opposite and today tries to take advantage of an unfortunate and misguided wording of the draft law that was given to the consultation, which was immediately noticed and rightly corrected by the Ministry of Justice.
Besides, anyone who carefully reads the bill submitted following the consultation in the Parliament, will see that there are other cases of regions and municipal units which, while belonging to the administrative boundaries of a Municipality, judicially belong to the local competence of the Court of First Instance based in the region of another Municipality.
Nor is it an argument that the areas of Akrata and Aegira are far from Kalavryta in relation to Aegio, when this does not concern the local communities who wished and wish to be subordinate to the Court of First Instance of Kalavryta.
In conclusion, we cannot fail to point out that the uncharacteristic insinuations regarding supposed “extra-institutional interventions” (!!) in order to correct a gross failure in the final draft of the law, rather refer to the saying “judge others for themselves”.
