Constitutional Court adopted amendments to the Rules of Procedure of the Constitutional Court
On Tuesday, 4 November, the Constitutional Court adopted amendments to the Rules of Procedure of the Constitutional Court, providing for changes in the procedure of pronouncing a judgement. Henceforth, a judgement adopted at the court hearing with the participation of the parties to the case will be pronounced, outlining the most important circumstances of the case and the conclusions of the judgement and reading out the rulings of the judgement.
The amendments were adopted to facilitate the efficiency of the Constitutional Court proceedings and to promote the efficient use of the Court’s resources by abandoning the regulation on pronouncing a judgement by reading out its text. Even after the amendments enter into force, the parties, other persons involved in the proceedings and the public have the option to become fully acquainted with the judgement of the Constitutional Court in writing, and at the public pronouncement of the judgement to learn about the most important circumstances of the case, the judgement’s conclusions, and hear the rulings of the judgement.
Amendments to the Rules of Procedure of the Constitutional Court enter into force on the day following their publication in the official publication Latvijas Vēstnesis.
