The second preliminary court session on the case of the lawyer Arthur Grigoryan vs. the RA Chamber of Lawyers in the court of Center and Norq-Marash administrative districts of Yerevan under the presidency of the Judge Edik Avetisyan ended today. The day of the trial will be reported later to the parties.

The plaintiff lawyer A. Grigoryan demands declaring the decision of the RA Chamber of Lawyers Council from April 6, 2012 void, according to which he was imposed an administrative fine based on constituent Hrant Bagratyan’s application. The first administrative proceeding based on an analogical application by the former RA Prime Minister H. Bagratyan was overruled. It was indicated in the application as if the lawyer did not inform his constituent H. Bagratyan about the decision that his complaint filed to the European Court of Human Rights was not accepted by the latter. A. Grigoryan denies that and states that he informed H. Bagratyan about the response received from the ECHR.

A. Grigoryan was not present at the preliminary court session, informing that he does not have additional mediation and asked to be informed about the day of the trial if the Court finds that there are no obstacles to start the trial.

The defendant party is represented by three lawyers, Ara Zohrabyan, Mane Karapetyan and Gevorg Gyozalyan. They denied A. Grigoryan’s observation that while taking the decision on administrative fine the RA CL Council was not biased and objective. According to the party, the President of the RA CL Rouben Sahakyan, Council members Hayk Alumyan and Ara Zohrabyan could not be biased, since first two of them did not participate in the discussions of the administrative proceeding, as for A. Zohrabyan he did not participate in voting. Moreover, R. Sahakyan and H. Alumyan took part in making the decision in favor of A. Grigoryan about overruling the first administrative proceeding.
