According to the Head of the “Young Barristers”, it is necessary, that the Special Department of the Prosecutor’s Office speed up making decisions regarding property confiscations. The Chair of the Supreme Court of Georgia should also have opportunity to carry out all the planned initiatives within the judicial system. Archil Kaikatsishvili appraised creation of the special inspector’s institute within the system of justice, as the institute for judges’ protection and noted, that the reform can only be opposed by those, who have made illegal decisions in the past.
