President Radev vetoes changes in the Civil Procedure Code

Photo: BTA

Bulgarian President Rumen Radev returned to the Parliament for further discussion of the amendments of 11 September to the Civil Procedure Code, made through the transitional and final provisions of the Law on the Bar. The President's veto is on the new legal regulation of the so-called "special representative". A special representative is a lawyer who is appointed ex officio in various cases under the rules of the Legal Aid Act. He can represent minor children, people without an address, etc. 

According to the President, the lawmakers have taken away from the court the power to set the fees of special representatives and entrusted them to local bar councils. 

According to Radev, this violates free market rules and contradicts EU law, which prohibits associations of providers of certain services from setting their own prices. It also raises certain risks of delaying court cases and hindering access to justice.
