The text provides the genesis of the existing regime for access to the highest judicial body in Macedonia, the particularities of that regime and an assessment on its effects on the judicial system. The authors provide insight into two different modes of revision in Macedonian legal system, namely the ordinary revision and the leave to file a revision, depending on the goals each of these remedies primarily strives to achieve – individual justice in a particular dispute or uniform application of law and harmonisation of the judicial practice. The text also presents the issue of granting a leave to appeal, which has a number of specificities in comparison to its German and Austrian counterparts.

After transforming the Constitutional Tribunal (CT) into an active ally of the government, the Law and Justice (Prawo i Sprawiedliwość (PiS)) party in Poland embarked upon the comprehensive subjection of the entire judicial system to the executive, and in particular to the president of the Republic and the minister of justice/prosecutor general (MJ/PG). This chapter discusses how, for this purpose, the National Council of Judiciary (Krajowa Rada Sądownictwa (KRS)) was packed with the party faithful thanks to a changed system for selecting members of the KRS (they are now directly elected by Parliament, rather than by judges). It also deals with how the effect of the new law on the Supreme Court was a brand new court composition with a pro-PiS majority: this was created by combining early retirement for incumbent judges and increasing the number of seats on the Court. The chief justice’s constitutionally guaranteed term of office has been extinguished. It also looks at another statute, on the common courts, that has strengthened the power of the MJ to control court presidents, and hold judges accountable for their verdicts through a new disciplinary procedure. Finally, the chapter looks at how the prosecutorial system (prokuratura) was merged with that of the MJ, with the MJ becoming the ex officio PG, producing a deeply politicized system of public prosecution.

The article reveals the features of the constitutional and legal status of the Supreme Court as a court of law in Ukraine. It has been established that the constitutional and legal status of the Supreme Court is regulated by the provisions of the Constitution of Ukraine, the Law of Ukraine «On the Judicial System and the Status of Judges» and the Code of Administrative Procedure of Ukraine. Analysis of the legislation allows us to note that the Supreme Court is the highest court in the judicial system in Ukraine. The composition of the Supreme Court is formed by the Grand Chamber of the Supreme Court, the Administrative Cassation Court, the Criminal Cassation Court and the Civil Cassation Court. It has been established that the President of the Supreme Court is elected to office, and also dismissed from office based on the results of a secret ballot held by the Plenum of the Supreme Court. The constitutional and legal status of the Supreme Court makes it possible to single out such basic functions of the Supreme Court as: the function of administering justice, during which the Supreme Court acts as a court of cassation; the function of analyzing judicial statistics, as well as summarizing judicial practice; the function of providing conclusions on draft legislative acts directly related to the judicial system; the function of providing an opinion on the presence or absence of signs of committing high treason or other crime in the acts for which charges are brought against the President of Ukraine, for committing high treason or other crime; the function of providing appellate and local courts with proper methodological information on law enforcement issues, etc. It has been determined that the professional activity of the Supreme Court contributes to ensuring the observance of the principle of equality of all before the law and requires ensuring at the same time the achievement of the unity of judicial practice. It is noted that the prospects for further research in this direction are the study of the legal status of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine as a body of constitutional jurisdiction, the main function of which is to ensure the supremacy of the Constitution of Ukraine.
