Supreme Court Head Says Frequent Amendment of Fundamental Laws Not Good

Speaking in an interview with Croatian Radio, Dobronić spoke about the announced legislative changes that are expected to improve the judiciary, warning that one should take into account the process of adjustment.

“One can generally say that fundamental laws in Croatia are changed quite often, including the Courts Act and all procedural regulations – both the Enforcement Act and the laws on criminal and civil procedure,” Dobronić said.

System stability implies the stability of regulations, Dobrinić stressed, explaining that it was generally not good to change fundamental laws “every year, a year and a half because amendment, if taken seriously, requires adjustment. Not only by those in charge of implementing it but also by those to whom it refers,” said said.

“Figuratively speaking, if you change driving rules every year, saying one year that everyone should drive on the right side of the road, only to say two years later that everyone should drive on the left side, in the third year people will no longer know which rule is in force,” he added.

It is a question if judges as well as civil servants apply regulations appropriately, Dobronić said, adding that countries that do not change their regulations often are more attractive to investors.

He also noted that Croatia should not have more than 100,000 new court cases a year as well as that courts should not allow situations in which some cases had been pending for 20 or more years.
