Judgments Handed Down by the CSCCA from 1 October 2014 to 4 March 2016
Summary — A count of the administrative and financial judgments the court handed down from 1 October 2014 to 4 March 2016. It explains the spike of 962 financial judgments in 2014-2015 by the emergency period declared at the court to process discharge requests from former public accounting officers standing in the 2015 elections.
Key Findings
- The 962 financial judgments handed down between 1 October 2014 and 30 September 2015 are an election artifact, not a change in the court's productivity. They were issued during an emergency period decreed at the court to answer discharge requests from former public accounting officers who wanted to stand in the 2015 elections.
- The outcome distribution shows what that period produced: of the 962 financial judgments, 946 were discharge judgments (quitus) and 16 were judgments of débet. A discharge rate above 98 percent is the number to weigh against the purpose of the exercise.
- The collapse afterward confirms the cause. In the following five months, 1 October 2015 to 4 March 2016, the court handed down 12 financial judgments, against 962 in the preceding twelve.
- Administrative judgments were unaffected by the surge, running at 17 in each of the two periods reported, which isolates the spike to the financial docket and to the electoral discharge process.
- A reading caution: the tabular figures do not survive text extraction cleanly, and the counts above are taken from the document's own narrative statements, which are internally consistent (946 plus 16 equals 962).
