Sessions    Events    Vacancies     29 June 2010 - The Constitutional Court of BiH held today its 99th regular session of the Grand Chamber. At today''s session, the Constitutional Court of BiH resolved 1 request for interim measure and 281 individual appeals. Out of those, the Constitutional Court resolved 18 appeals on the merits of the case, 89 appeals were rejected on the grounds of manifest inadmissibility, while 174 appeals were rejected on other grounds of inadmissibility (expired time limit for filing, failure to exhaust legal remedies, lack of jurisdiction of the Constitutional Court of BiH, etc.). Inter alia, the Constitutional Court of BiH in the case No. AP 722/08 granted the appeal of Ms. Gordana Bursac from Prijedor, finding a violation of the right to fair trial under Article II (3)(e) of the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Article 6 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and annulled the Judgment of the Supreme Court of RS no. Uvl-100/05 of 12 December 2007. Constitutional Court left in force the Judgment of the County Court in Banja Luka no. U 14-05 of 8 May 2005 as it fully meets the standards of the right to fair trial under Article 6 of the European Convention and particularly having in mind that the appellant initiated the proceedings for exercising right to an old-age retirement in 2003, pursuant to the law and that her right to enjoy this right was denied to date. Although the Constitutional Court does not place an emphasis on the statistics but rather high-quality protection of the human rights, the Constitutional Court states that it received 2502 cases and decided 2167 cases in the past six months (on 25 June). Constitutional Court reiterates that the priority in its work is the chronological deciding of the cases while the cases which relate to freedom and safety of person issues and cases that concern decision-making within reasonable time-limit shall again have priority within that framework. The following session of the Grand Chamber is scheduled for 21 July 2010. Back to sessions
