Croatia Judge Pays For Excessive Trial Length
Zagreb | 05 November 2009 |
A Croatian judge has agreed to pay a fine for extending the length of a trial ''exessively''.
Former President of the Municipal Court in Pula, Bruno Čohilj is the first judge to agree to pay such a fee, the javno.com news service reports.
In an attempt to shorten court proceedeings, the government is now asking for an explination from judges and a court presidents in the instance their cases are drawn out ''exessively''.
Up until now the state has paid the fee.
This means that citizens no longer have to wait for a three year deadline until their case his heard, but can request action from the court when their response is delayed.




Radovan Karadzic, Sarajevo is not your city, and you have no right to say that it is, just as you do not have the right to say in public, even if it’s in court, that someone has dug up bones around Bosnia and brought them to Srebrenica to make a fake graveyard. This is insulting.
