The clash between the National Chamber of Advocacy and judicial decision-making has entered a new phase after the Court of Appeal suspended the decision on the lawyers’ boycott. In this climate of institutional tension, the Chamber’s governing bodies have been called into an urgent meeting to decide how they will respond.
The Appeal intervenes in the lawyers’ boycott
According to the Court of Appeal’s ruling, the decision on the lawyers’ boycott has been suspended following a request submitted by the Anti-Corruption Lawyers Association.
The move by the Appeal directly intervenes in a clash affecting the functioning of the justice system and the relationship between judicial institutions and the body of lawyers.
Chamber calls urgent meeting
The Steering Committee of the National Chamber of Advocacy has been convened this Thursday at 13:00 for an urgent meeting.
The discussion is expected to focus on the consequences of the Appeal’s decision and the options available to the institution to respond legally to the situation created.
What is being considered after the ruling
According to the head of the National Chamber of Advocacy, Maksim Haxhia, further legal steps are being reviewed following the Appeal’s decision.
One of the possibilities under consideration is filing a lawsuit with the Court of Appeal, requesting the annulment and suspension of the GJKKO regulation dated September 1, 2026.
According to Haxhia, this regulation infringes on the legal profession and the media, a claim expected to be discussed in the Chamber’s leadership structures before a formal decision is taken.
General Council meeting also expected
The head of the Chamber said there is still no notice of the court’s reasoned decision, which keeps the institutional response at the assessment stage.
After the Steering Committee meeting, a General Council meeting is also scheduled for Friday at 14:00, where the positions and proposals emerging from the Chamber’s structures are expected to be weighed.
The suspension of the boycott does not end the clash, but shifts it to another arena: the procedural and legal battle over rules that, according to the lawyers, affect the practice of the profession.
For the moment, the focus remains on the Chamber’s internal decision-making and on how it will present its position before the Appeal and regarding the GJKKO regulation.
