Catalunya (419/2009, 17 de setembre)
L'Statute of Autonomy of Catalonia 2006, Dins the títol III (. Judicial power Catalonia.) lays down in Chapter III, the powers of the Government on the administration of justice.
Among these skills are relevant to the material resources of the Administration of Justice in Catalonia (Article 104) and on the organization of legal aid services and legal advice free of charge (Article 106).
With the validity of the Statute of Autonomy of Catalonia 1979, and by the Royal Decrees 966/1990 of 20 July, and 409/1996 of 1 March, were transferred from the Administration of State Generalitat of Catalonia on the functions of providing material and cheap for running the administration of justice and prosecution, which include payment of awards for experts and experts in the courts of justice based in Catalonia. The functions and services that were attributed to his day in the Justice Department by Decree 129/1996 of 16 April. More recently, Article 3.7.a) of Decree 421/2006 of 28 November on the creation, naming and determining the scope of authority of the departments of the Generalitat of Catalonia attributed to the Justice Department related to the functions Administration of Justice in Catalonia.
Article 473.1 of the Act 6 / 1985 of 1 July, the judiciary, the wording provided in Organic Law 19/2003 of 23 December, which may have served in the administration of justice in civil servants from other administrations that, on an occasional or permanent, it is necessary to assist in the development of specific activities than those of the civil service bodies in the administration of justice and which require technical knowledge or expertise. Thus, judges and magistrates or judges or judge may appoint as an expert witness or expert officials or civil servants, government departments or subsidiaries of public administrations that, as Article 465 of the Criminal Procedure Act, have no right to claim fees, notwithstanding that the appropriate compensation, which, in accordance with Royal Decree 462/2002 of 24 May on compensation by reason of service, are in charge of budgetary provision allocated to the Ministry or agency that belongs expert or experts.
Likewise, Act 1 / 1996 of January 10, legal aid, taking into account the possibility of utilization of public resources provided to appraise the Organic Law of the judiciary, and in order to combine, one hand, access for all citizens to judicial protection effective and, secondly, rationalizing the use of public resources, Article 6.6 states that the rule should be that the appraisals go by the technical staff the courts, the civil service bodies or technical services dependent on government, and that only exceptionally and when lack of technicians in the field is not possible for the expert assistance of experts or expert dependent courts or public administration, appraisal can conducted if the judge or judge or court considers it appropriate resolution through reasoned by private technicians.
In this regard, Act 1 / 2000 of 7 January, Civil Procedure, established a new regulatory procedure for judicially appointed expert or experts, according to which the various professional associations, the similar organizations and academies and cultural and scientific institutions must submit annually to the courts a list of members willing to act as experts or expert judgments.
Meanwhile, following the entry into force of Law 38/2002 of 24 October, partial reform of the Criminal Procedure Act, the procedure for the rapid and immediate prosecution of certain Crime and misdemeanors, and modification of the abbreviated procedure and in compliance with paragraph 3 of his first final provision, the Justice Department drafted a specific list of professionals and technicians willing to act immediately before the courts duty to hold the so-called quick trials, and introduced the advanced payment of such surveys, to ensure expert assistance in such procedures.
Thus, the General Directorate for Relations with the Administration of Justice approved a new circular, Circular 2 / 2003 of 23 April concerning the payment of legal appraisals, which introduced, among other measures, fixing a maximum amount for prepayment of certain types of appraisals, which guarantees, on one hand, the provision of appraisals for courts and the other, the rational use of public resources.
After the time elapsed since the entry into force of Circular 2 / 2003, the Justice Department has raised the need to step forward to improve the service, while combining the legitimate interests of experts and experts from the Administration and the obligation to use public resources available as efficiently as possible. For this, we decided to expand the range of advance payment subject to judicial appraisals and make it extend to all surveys, regardless of the jurisdiction in which they practice, the cost of which may be entitled to assume the Department of Justice. In these cases, some amounts that are set by the Department can advance the professional or have completed the survey once and fall before the final decision to end the legal proceedings. To set these numbers are taken into account that the standards established in Circular 2 / 2003, which have been reviewed and increased, and have been compared with the cost and difficulty on average different types of surveys, also take into account the standards that apply to other communities of this area. This system does not prevent the possibility that the professionals at the end of the procedure and provided that there is a pronouncement of the court in terms of costs, may submit the bill of fees they consider fair for its levy by coasts, while returning the amount that the Department of Justice has advanced.
Thus, we conclude that the main objective of this Order is twofold: first, ensure the provision of appraisals when they have to be borne by the Administration with respect to early attachment planned budgets and rational utilization of public resources and, secondly, to ensure the collection of professionals and their work without waiting to complete the legal proceedings.
To achieve the effectiveness of the provisions of this Order has been estimated to make available appropriate judicial organs in accordance with legal provisions, a list of appraisers and experts willing to act under the conditions laid this Order.
