Furthermore, the authors consider how private international law has evolved in the Czech and Slovak Republics when addressing cross-border copyright disputes.

The paper provides answers to the following questions: Do the newly introduced measures of challenge: a complaint against the “cassatory” judgment of an appellate court adopted in 2016 and an extraordinary complaint introduced in 2018, along with the “traditional” extraordinary measures of challenge: a cassation appeal and a motion for the reopening of proceedings, form a coherent model of mutually complementary measures? Has the introduction of the new measures of challenge contributed to quicker proceedings, that is, expedited the final decision in criminal cases while maintaining the standard of substantive justice? The analysis of the legal basis and practice of applying the two measures brought the authors to the conclusion that the first one (the complaint against a cassatory judgment of the appellate court) may contribute to obtaining a final judgment in the case within a reasonable time. Moreover, it does not compromise the coherence of the system of appeal measures in Polish criminal proceedings. On the other hand, the second remedy – an extraordinary complaint generates a long-term condition of legal uncertainty and undermines the principle of legal certainty, a key element of which is the institution of the finality of judgment.</p>","PeriodicalId":42845,"journal":{"name":"Review of Central and East European Law","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2024-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140925877","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on a case study of the judicial selection procedure of the ECtHR judge in Georgia, this article suggests that emphasizing the potential of transparency and publicity of the national selection process is misleading because even the drastically enhanced transparency of the process is not a cure for its higher legitimation. By connecting the scholarship on transparency of the selection process for the judges of international tribunals with the literature on informal governance networks, this article cautions against the excessive focus on transparency at the expense of a deeper understanding of the local context in which the selection and nomination processes occur. Drawing on informality studies in the former Soviet Union, the article aspires to initiate a discussion on the policy reform steps pertaining to the operations of informal governance networks in judicial selection processes. This article presents a more realistic and restricted conception of transparency – transparency <em>specialis</em> – which we advocate, will be useful in designing the national judicial selection process. Transparency <em>specialis</em> is an understanding that transparency of the selection process is useful; however, where informal governance is prevalent, transparency solely will not result in a fair and impartial process without the relevant and all-encompassing judiciary reforms.</p>","PeriodicalId":42845,"journal":{"name":"Review of Central and East European Law","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2024-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140925649","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The author briefly describes the origins of the Serbian Constitutional Court and the level of its independence.

The current article attempts to examine how universal aspirations about the principle are appropriated in local contexts of the Central Asian region. In the outset, the research scrutinizes theoretical perplexities around the term and argues for the (obscured) role of law in these discussions. Then, drawing on doctrinal and empirical research in Central Asia, it converses the ways accountability is translated, engaged, and valued as the idea. Findings reveal the heterogeneity of approaches to accountability, and the reiterative relations between the word and the concept, informed by the region’s historical past, political regimes, one’s language and education.
