Case Notes of the Constitutional Court of Georgia

Abstract

In the Volume 2, 2020 the Journal of Constitutional Law continues to publish short summaries of the notable recent Judgments adopted by the Constitutional Court of Georgia. Two cases discussed below have been adopted in the second half of 2020 and both deal with complex issues, such as the constitutionality of the appointment of the Supreme Court Members in Georgia and the Gender Quota for the Parliament of Georgia. The controversiality is probably best demonstrated by the dissenting opinions, which are also summarised in the Case Notes. The Journal hopes both the majority and the dissenting opinions will be interesting for our readers worldwide and will support academic discussions regarding the case-law of the Constitutional Court of Georgia. Cases Provided: The Public Defender of Georgia v. The Parliament of Georgia (30 July 2020 Judgment №3/1/1459,1491) N(N)LE Political Union of Citizens ‘New Political Center’, Herman Sabo, Zurab Girchi Japaridze and Ana Chikovani v. The Parliament of Georgia (25 September 2020 Judgment №3/3/1526)
