Rejection of Directive to Alter Findings in Death Inquests
May 17, 2025
In a recent case at the Limassol District Court, Judge Doria Varosiotou refused to alter the findings of two death inquests that were requested by the court's President. The inquests concerned a death from a traffic accident and a death from a fall, with the deceased's families not wishing to participate. The judge emphasized that the President's directive could not be executed, clearly stating that the findings of death inquests cannot be altered. Legal circles highlight the significance of this ruling for the independence of judicial proceedings.
