The draft law No. 4229 provides for the termination by the High Council of Justice of the competitions previously started by the High Qualifications Commission of Judges (before the day of formation of a competent composition of the HQCJ), including the conduct and completion of the special audit, the announcement, conduct and determination of the results of the competitions for the candidates, and submitting proposals to the President of Ukraine for appointing the respective judges without recommendations from the HQCJ.
The bill provides for amendments to the two laws precisely because of their substantive and logical connection.
