Tomas Kavaliauskas, head of the Communications Department at the National Judicial Administration (NTA), confirmed that the body known as TEDK has received a formal complaint lodged by V. Gapšys. According to Kavaliauskas, the matter is currently undergoing processing in strict adherence to the procedures outlined within the TEDK statute.
The handling of this complaint falls under the purview of the commission, where the chairman possesses several procedural options. These decisions determine the next steps for the submitted material. The chairman may elect to prepare the necessary documentation for a formal commission meeting, or alternatively, transfer the submission to a specific commission member for review.
A third option allows the chairman to formally notify the individual who filed the complaint if the submission will not be examined further. Furthermore, the commission structure allows for broader determinations regarding the complaint’s viability. It may be decided whether the matter should be submitted to TEDK for a final ruling, or if the complaint itself is deemed inadmissible.
A key element of the process also involves assessing the judge implicated in the alleged ethical violation. In certain instances, the commission may determine if the judge in question should be given an opportunity to provide a formal explanation regarding the allegations. This structured approach ensures that all aspects of the complaint are systematically reviewed by the appropriate judicial body.
