On April 29, a report about constitutional lawsuit filed by T.Mamgulshvili was broadcasted during Kurieri News Program. According to the report, although the applicant has decided against further pursuing the legal proceedings, court continues examining the case. As T. Mamgulashvili’s interests are defended by GYLA before court, we deem it important to make clarifications about the case.
We would like to note that GYLA is defending interests of T. Mamgulashvili in full observance with law. The applicant has not decided against further pursuing the legal proceedings and therefore, GYLA has been acting according to his will since the very day the lawsuit was filed in court (July 6, 2012). This has been confirmed by the applicant himself in a statement released after broadcasting of the report.
The TV report also featured an interview of T. Mamgulashvili’s spouse (who is also an applicant in the case brought before the Constitutional Court), saying that she does not wish to further pursue the legal proceedings. We would like to highlight that the proceedings she is referring to is another court dispute, different from the constitutional lawsuit. We believe that there was a miscommunication between the journalist and the respondent that led to misinterpretation of facts.
In this light, we stand ready to provide further legal details to media outlets that are interested.
