Performance, with work targets, will be closely evaluated by the Superior Council of Administrative and Fiscal Courts (CSTAF). “The CSTAF will, every 3 months, take stock of the results, the first being for April, May and June and the second for September, October and November, as this measure has a deliberate maximum duration of 6 months of effective work”he highlights to the newspaper.
Mechanisms were created to speed up this work. One example was the creation of “a shared folder, containing models of orders and sentences, which will be made available to them to support the procedural process”.
When the competition was launched there were 50 vacancies, however, only 28 met the necessary requirements. This is a type of task force, as a team of court officials and other professionals will also be mobilized to resolve cases.
The initiative came from the Superior Council of Administrative and Fiscal Courts, due to concerns about the high number of cases given the court’s capacity. “We have to be the ones to solve this problem”, judge Eliana de Almeida Pinto told DN.
