Armenian lawmaker Edmon Marukyan has put into circulation a draft law on introducing amendments to the Administrative Procedure Code of Armenia which envisages repealing Part 4 of Article 154. Under the disputed article, individuals and legal entities can lodge a cassation appeal only through attorneys. The opponents say the article is in rough violation of the Armenian Constitution and citizens’ right to appeal to court which is enshrined in the European Convention. If adopted, the bill will empower citizens and legal entities to appeal to the Cassation Court, thereby making the court accessible for them.
