The National Assembly passed the amendment bill of Administrative justice law in the second reading of current four-day session.

Paragraph 1 of Article 135 on “Proceedings on appeal of the legitimacy of normative legal acts”. The Paragraph says that the dispute cases of departmental normative acts compliance with the constitution are in the jurisdiction of the Administrative Court.

The Amendment will take the effect on the tenth day after the official publication.

The bill authorized by the representatives of political coalition was passed in the first reading on the 6th of February by the pervious NA. The adoption of the amendment was due to the fact that the mentioned article said that the Administrative Court had the right to review the constitutionality of departmental normative acts, but according to Article 8 of the same code the Administrative Court has no right to review the cases that are under the jurisdiction of the RA Constitutional Court.

The authors of the bill say that, this formulation in the Administrative Procedure Code also hinders the Constitutional court, which on its Article 68 stipulates that the Constitutional Court has the right, in addition to the disputed legal provisions, to handle to the related acts, to check their constitutionality. Nevertheless, since the issue of constitutionality of normative acts is vested to the Administrative Court, the Constitutional Court is deprived from this right.
