Tbilisi. On September 15, 2015, the Human Rights and Civil Integration Committee of the Parliament of Georgia will consider legislative proposal related to property confiscations prepared by "Young Barrister”. New legislative proposal will extend statute of limitation for reopening court proceeding on the basis of newly discovered evidences and court decision abolishment from 5 to 15 years. New legislative changes will give real opportunity to the citizens, whose property had been confiscated to appeal to the court and factually have a chance to recover violated rights. Implementation of such an amendment would be a step forward to establishing justice and rule of law. The cases will be considered again, from the very beginning and the court will make a new judgment on the specific case, rather than appealing to the principle of common approach towards those, whose property had been confiscated. The organization believes, that 15 year statute of limitation for reopening court case is a reasonable term.
