← 🇧🇪 Chambre des représentants/PROPOSITION DE LOIbe-56-1815

Proposition de loi modifiant le Code judiciaire en ce qui concerne l'attribution d'affaires pénales à une chambre composée de trois juges.

Stage submittedUpdated 18h ago

This is a Belgian bill proposing amendments to the Judicial Code so that certain criminal cases are heard by a chamber composed of three judges. It concerns how courts are organised and which judicial formation decides a case, rather than the substance of criminal offences or penalties. Based on the title only, the bill appears aimed at changing the composition of criminal benches in the Belgian justice system. The main groups affected would be criminal defendants, victims, judges and court staff, and the courts that handle criminal matters. The precise cases covered and any practical effects cannot be determined from the metadata alone and would need to be checked in the full text of the bill.
