The parliamentary commission on appointments and immunities endorsed for the second reading a bill whereby the economic courts are transformed into commercial courts, Info-Prim Neo reports. The chairman of the Liberal Party Mihai Ghimpu, who is a member of the commission, asked the Ministry of Justice to assume responsibility for the adoption of this bill if somebody challenges it in the Constitutional Court and the Court rules that the proposed changes are unconstitutional. “If you want to know whether I will resign if the bill is disputed in the Constitutional Court, I cannot give an answer. We will see what happens,” said Minister of Justice Oleg Efrim. Democratic MP Adrian Candu said that the sentence “The Economic Court of Appeals stops work when the bill is adopted” included in the bill means that the court will be liquidated, not transformed. The president of the Supreme Court of Justice Mihai Poalelungi said the bill provides for transferring the ten judges of the Economic Court of Appeals to the Chisinau Court of Appeals (six judges) and other courts (four judges), as the Supreme Court of Justice decides. If somebody does not accept the transfer, they may resign. Earlier, following a challenge filed by the Communist lawmakers, the Constitutional Court ruled that the liquidation of the economic courts was unconstitutional. As a result, the Government proposed a new bill, suggesting transforming the economic courts into commercial courts, with a limited number of powers.
