The Grand Chamber of the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina held today its 62nd ordinary session.
Within its 68th session, the Constitutional Court rejected a number of appeals lodged in an untimely fashion, either after the expiration of time-limit for the submission of appeal or prematurely, or in the cases in which it was established that the appellants failed to use all available legal remedies in the preceding proceedings.
Deciding on the appeals with regards to the adoption of a decision on admissibility and merits within a reasonable time-limit, the Court adopted a number of decisions establishing a violation of the appellants’ rights to a fair trial, and it dismissed a certain number of appeals as ill-founded in cases in which it found no such a violation.
In the cases where the Constitutional Court found a violation of the appellants’ right to a fair trial, the competent courts and administrative bodies were ordered to complete proceedings urgently and to inform the Court, within three months as from the date of delivery of the relevant decisions, of the measures taken to execute those decisions.
The Constitutional Court rejected the appeals which were manifestly (prima facie) ill-founded.
All decisions adopted at the session will be delivered to the appellants within one month and will be available at the website of the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
