The presiding magistrate of the Supreme Court of Justice (CSJ), Luis Ramón Fábrega, on Monday morning took stock of the work carried out by this State body, highlighting that the institution has been “stagnant” based on legal norms that no longer respond to the needs of these times.
In addition, it does not respond to codes that date back 50 and 60 years, such as the Law on Administrative Litigation that oscillates since the 40s, as well as the Judicial Code of Civil Procedure.
“This institution has to be modernized and the legal structure of this institution has to be modernized,” said the magistrate.
Fábrega hopes that the new directive that is about to start its administration as of Monday, January 3, will continue this reform and strengthen the judicial career, the presentation of the new Civil Code and the appointment of 14 new heads that will strengthen the institution and streamline the work of the Accusatory Penal System, civil and family courts for next year.
He stressed that in the last two years of his tenure, he has ensured the sanitation of the institution.
The statements of the presiding magistrate of the CSJ were given during the inauguration ceremony of the new courtrooms of the Accusatory Penal System in the old Boston School.
