Article 16 explained in plain English
This article gives the Minister of Justice the power to issue the decisions needed to implement the provisions of the Regulations.
This is consistent with the roles the Regulations assign to the Minister of Justice and the Ministry in other articles:
- Designating the competent department that issues the final assessment of costs (Articles 8 and 9).
- Issuing what is needed on objection procedures, in coordination with the President of the Supreme Judicial Council (Article 14).
- Determining the technical expertise, financial capacity and technical conditions for a private-sector licensee, and supervising its work (Article 11).
- Opening the current account for depositing the amounts collected (Article 13).
- Determining the value of real estate in ownership disputes based on the data documented with it (Article 2).
The decisions the Minister issues under this article are for implementing the Regulations, meaning they detail what is in them and do not go beyond them. The article does not state the content of these decisions, so they should be consulted when issued.
A person who needs to know the decisions in force on the costs of their case may consult a lawyer specializing in litigation and pleading.
