Court of Protest: Attorneys on one-day strike over “arbitrariness=?UTF-8?B?4oCd?=

More than 100 Armenian attorneys will not work today, to express their discontent with the "double standards" and "arbitrariness" of the Court of Appeal. The striking attorneys are not happy the appeals court does not give grounds for its decisions, when ruling.

"The Court of Appeal, making use of the ambiguity of the standards of appeals processing, has repeatedly showed arbitrariness while applying the law, consequently we are not aware of even one judicial act where the decision of processing an appeal has been grounded. Many cases of rejecting the appeals are known, whereas a similar appeal submitted by another entity has been processed. Even if we exclude the hypothesis of existence of corruption in the phase of the appeal process, then the double standards applied by the Court of Appeal at least do not dispel the doubts of those people who are inclined to think that corruption lies in the basis of those double approaches," the protesting attorneys' statement reads.
