YEREVAN, APRIL 13, NOYAN TAPAN. On April 13, RA National Assembly in
the first reading discussed the new bill “On Constitutional Court”. It
will be voted at the next four-day session. The government motivates
adoption of the law in new edited variant by the necessity to bring
it in correspondence with the reformed Constitution. In particular,
the circle of Constitutional Court’s powers ans subjects applying to CC
was enlarged, the forms of judicial control were increased. The bill
also clarifies the order of applying to CC reducing the possibilities
of refusing to accept the application by formal bases. In connection
with the latter the bill stipulates that an application submitted to CC
is subject to obligatory registration. If it is obviously not within
the powers of the CC to examine the issue raised in the application
or the issue is presented by a body or person not having the right
to apply to the Constitutional Court, the Constitutional Court gives
back the application within a 5-day term. An application submitted
to the CC can be withdrawn by the claimant before the beginning of
the court examination.
