Supreme Court and Prosecutor sign memorandum on cooperation

Supreme Court chair Daniela Švecová and Prosecutor-General Jaromir Čižnár have signed a memorandum on mutual co-operation to boost information-sharing regarding important court decision-making processes, it was reported on Tuesday. The memorandum is meant to create a framework for exchanging information in the field of legal data retrieval and decision analysis. The Supreme Court has been dealing with this agenda since January 1, 2017, when it set up its department of documentation, analytics and comparative jurisprudence in order to provide Supreme Court judges with a professional service to monitor Slovak and foreign court practice. "A quality analytical service contributes towards greater unification of activities by the Supreme Court, which increases the predictability of court decisions. . . From the public point of view, this is of incredible importance because it serves to shorten the length of court proceedings," claimed Švecová.
