Мандат на новоизбрания (новоназначен) съдия по чл. 148, ал. 3 от Конституцията
Mandate of Newly Elected (Newly Appointed) Judge According to Art. 148, para. 3 of the Constitution

Summary/Abstract: The Bulgarian Constitution regulates explicitly and exhaustively the cases of preterm ceasing of the mandate of a constitutional judge. It says nothing, though, about the term of the mandate of the newly elected judge. The article supports Decision No 8 of September 21, 2000 on Constitutional Case No 912000 of the Bulgarian Constitutional Court. According to the decision the judges elected to replace judges who ceased to carry out their duties before the end of their normal term of office shall complete the term of office of the judges they replace. The author considers that this is the only possible formulae satisfying the imperative constitutional requirements of equal quotas and periodical renewal of the Constitutional Court.
