Why is the Constitutional Reform Committee member against the transition to a two-tier court system?

Two-tier or three-tier court system? Member of the Constitutional Reform Committee adjunct to the RA President, Dean of the Law Department at YSU,Gagik Ghazinyan thinks that the current system should be maintained.

The concept of Constitutional reforms suggests reducing the number of courts – from three-tier to two-tier, in condition of including appeals and cassation competences in the second instance court.

Gagik Ghazinyan claims that the three-tier system has passed a certain aprobation. “Despite some of its drawbacks, which can be corrected, three-tier system is viable rather than transition to a two-tier system which will again require a long period of time without knowing the end results,” – Gagik ghazinyan told Iravaban.net.

Proponents of the two-tier system speak about savings and system optimization, underlining that in such a small country as Armenia, the three-tier system is a great luxury. Mr Ghazinyan does not agree with these claims. “Our system has more or less been established, the main problem here is to clarify the place and responsibilities of the Court of Cassation. It`s about clarifying the basis of appeal proceedings, which is long been subject to the dissatisfaction of advocates and the public. Court of cassation should not come up with conceptual approaches.

So the Constitutional Reform Committee Member claims that the above-mentioned issues raise doubts with regard to the three-tier system. “To my mind, it is a right choice to improve this system and clarify competences, which will be more viable than the transition to a two-tier system”.
