Summary
The decree suspends specified articles of the Chechen Republic laws on judges’ status and the court system pending legislative changes. It temporarily reallocates responsibility for appointments and dismissals of judges and court officials between the President, Justice Minister and Supreme Court leadership. The scope and validity of this asserted presidential power were politically and constitutionally contested.
