On 30 November 2016, the EU-funded project “Support to the Constitutional Court of Moldova”, in co-operation with the Constitutional Court organised a joint training for lawyers, prosecutors and judges of the common jurisdiction courts on the “Exception of Unconstitutionality, Impact of Constitutional Jurisdiction on Justice”.  The training sessions were conducted by the Presidents of the Constitutional Courts of the Republic of Moldova and the Republic of Lithuania, as well as by the former President of the Georgian Constitutional Court and invited expert from the University of Wroclaw, Poland.

The training sessions focused on: the conditions under which the exception of unconstitutionality may be raised before the ordinary courts; the procedure for resolving complaints on the exception of unconstitutionality by the Constitutional Court; non-retroactivity and the binding character of Constitutional Court decisions.

The workplan of the project envisages further organisation of similar training events for the target groups in question.
