The Iraqi Bar Association announces its legal opinion on the law of the Federal Supreme Court

Friday 12, March 2021 23:24  The Iraqi Bar Association issued a special statement that included its legal vision on the law of the Federal Supreme Court, and the problems that were raised that impede the acceleration of its legislation.

The head of the Lawyers Syndicate, Diaa Al-Saadi, said in a statement: Our Syndicate has previously appreciated the criticality of the situation that arose out of the lack of a quorum for the Federal Court, and the approaching date of early elections by drafting a draft amendment to the Federal Supreme Court Law No. (30) of 2005 in force, in a manner that insures addressing the shortfall in its quorum. To enable it to carry out its tasks stipulated in Article (93) of the Constitution of the Republic of Iraq of 2005 in force.

butterfly  He added: The project was submitted to the Presidency of the Council of Representatives on 5/9/2020, but unfortunately, this initiative that provides a quick solution to fill the shortfall in the membership of the court did not receive any response.

Al-Saadi said: The House of Representatives discussed throughout its last session a draft Federal Court law based on Article 92 of the applicable constitution. Under this bill, the Federal Supreme Court will consist of a president, a vice president, and (7) judges, to whom will be added (4) experts in Islamic jurisprudence and two (2) members of law scholars, all of whom are entitled to exercise the role of judges in voting on the decisions taken by the court.

He pointed out that: The legal principle has differentiated between the judge and the expert, whereby the expert undertakes to clarify the scientific and technical matters without addressing the legal aspects and issues that are limited to and interfere with the duties of the judges, and in the cases and cases that require the assistance of experts, and in all cases and cases, the expert’s opinion does not restrict the court and is not binding This calls for emphasizing that judges in the Federal Court alone and not others possess the legal authority to issue judgments and judicial decisions.

butterfly  He continued: The Federal Court can seek, when necessary, the opinion of experts in Islamic jurisprudence and legal scholars and adhere to the constitutional legal obligations related to the impermissibility of enacting a law that contradicts the established provisions of Islam and the principles of democracy, in accordance with the provisions of Article (2) of the Constitution of the Republic of Iraq of 2005.

Promise Al-Saadi: Involvement of others Judges issue judgments and judicial decisions under the titles of experts and jurists or any other name, contrary to the concept of a judge and constitute a violation of the authority of an independent judge who is not subject to any authority other than the law, and an interference in the affairs of justice prohibited in Article (88) of the Constitution, and has serious effects on the social, economic and cultural levels It is difficult to remedy and contain.

In our statement, we address the president and members of the House of Representatives and all of our Iraqi people, realizing the importance of the Federal Supreme Court and its great national role in building the state and society and protecting the unity, independence and sovereignty of Iraq.

Dave  @sheila i gather by butterfly's posts Jeff missed the mark... Budget and Fed Court laws are not done yet?

Sheila  Dave I do not fact check any of the gurus. I post and it's up to you, everyone to do their own fact checks. Nor is my job to defend them.

Dave  EARTH FLAT????Have yet to fact check that?

butterfly    This is my input about gurus, as I've stated many times, NO ONE will know what is happening in Iraq at any time, only those in Iraq, AND sometimes it changes with them on a dime. I do not believe any of them, but they sure do get people to listen to their garbage AND pay for it. We have heard the same garbage year after year AND the articles are saying the same thing they have way back when all of this started. Whew that was one long sentence.

Dave  thought Jeff said done done done.....?
