Debate on Organic Law of TC enters decisive stage
Diario Libre
SANTO DOMINGO. The Organic Law of the Constitutional Tribunal (TC) will be on the agenda this Tuesday in the Chamber of Deputies. However, this morning the Permanent Justice Commission will continue discussing the legislation. They hope to reach a definitive consensus that will allow the bill to be passed as an urgent piece of legislation.
The Justice Commission, which is headed by Deputy Demostenes William Martinez will meet at 11:00 in the morning. They will discuss the suggestions that the commission of jurists delivered last Friday; these suggestions indicated that the Constitutional Tribunal could review all of the decisions handed down by the courts of the judicial system.
In order to review there will be three requisites for the court to follow: First, when the decision declares a law, decree, regulation, resolution or ordinance inapplicable because it is unconstitutional; second, when the decision violates a precedent of the Constitutional Tribunal, and third, when there has been a violation of the essential content of a fundamental right.
Martinez said that the perspectives of the meeting are very good in that it insures a consensus that will allow the sanctioning of the project that will have to go back to the Senate, if it is modified, as everything seems to indicate. It is thought that the legislation will be passed in the session that is set for four o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
PRSC supports suggestions
The Secretary General and spokesman for the Reformist deputies, Ramon Rogelio Genao, reported that his organization decided to accept the commission's report in all its parts. The PRSC analyzed the recommendations contained in the report delivered by the commission of jurists last Friday to the Chamber of Deputies, and they will propose that an obligatory retirement age for the judges of the Constitutional Tribunal, as suggested by other sectors, is not needed.
"The two new articles suggested by the commission of jurists pick up in their paragraphs and numerals the agile and functional mechanism for constitutional control without creating distortions or confrontations in the administration of justice by the Justice Department, because it sets the bases for consensus, and therefore the PRSC accepts it and approves it in all its parts".
The PRD will set it position
The Dominican Revolutionary Party will set it position in the meeting of the Justice Commission this morning, but before that the deputies will meet with the party leadership to discuss the suggestions made by the commission of jurists.
The spokesman for the deputies, Nelson Arroyo, reported that the official position will be presented in that meeting, but he told reporters that with regard to the age of the judges, he understood that an obligatory retirement age of 75 should be established.
