Such circumstances pose a threat to judicial independence, the High Council of Justice believes.
In Odessa, a man bequeathed part of his property to the judge of the Kiev District Court Irina Ogrenich, in order to have a reason to challenge her. About it reported High Council of Justice on Tuesday 10 August.
“The defendant drew up a will for the share of the household in favor of the judge, on the basis of which he declared her challenge. her as the presiding judge in this case, “- said in the message.
The High Council of Justice believes that such circumstances pose a threat to judicial independence, because they can be a way of influencing the court, and asked the Office of the Prosecutor General to open criminal proceedings under the article on interference with the activities of the judiciary (part 1 of article 376 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
As you know, the basis for disqualification of a judge in a civil proceeding is kinship with the participants in the process; participation of a judge in a case in a different role (witness, expert, etc.); direct or indirect interest as a result of the consideration of the case; violation of the procedure for determining a judge to consider a case; other circumstances that raise doubts about the impartiality or objectivity of the judge.
We will remind, in Kiev, the mother of one of the defendants in the case of currency fraud made a will for the prosecutortrying to save his son from choosing a preventive measure. Sessions are constantly postponed due to the defense’s petition to challenge the judge, prosecutor, and secretary.
