On the 2nd September 2025, the Supreme Constitutional Court, in its capacity as the Appellate Judicial Council, issued a groundbreaking judgement concerning an objection by a judge against the decision of the Supreme Court, in its capacity as the First Instance Judicial Council, regarding her transfer from the Nicosia District Court to the Larnaca District Court. This decision is of particular significance, as it sets a precedence for similar cases, defining the standard and extent of the necessary reasoning required in decisions of the Supreme Judicial Council regarding judicial relocation, as well as the criteria considered in this context. Beyond being a significant milestone for the Cypriot legal system due to the creation of judicial precedent on the critical issue of judicial functioning, this decision holds even greater importance for our office, as we were actively involved in the proceedings, representing the Interested Party. The Interested Party in the proceedings was another judge, who, as a result of the transfer of the judge who filed the objection against the Judicial Council's decision to transfer her, would have been transferred to the latter's position—i.e., from the Larnaca district to the Nicosia district.
