Statement of the HQCJ on holding the qualification exam on July 09, 2024

09.07.2024

On July 9, 2024, an emergency situation occurred during the exam as part of the qualification evaluation procedure for suitability of a judge for the position held and the qualification evaluation in connection with the imposition of a disciplinary sanction.

After the announcement of the start of the anonymous written test, the exam participants found that the generated test questions were incorrect in their test copybooks. The same questions were repeatedly asked in each variant of each exam participant.

Upon discovery of this emergency situation, the anonymous written test was suspended and the test copybooks distributed to the exam participants were collected before the announcement of the start of the test.

In addition, the developer of the Commission’s Workflow Automation System was immediately notified, as well as the Counterintelligence Department of the Security Service of Ukraine, the State Service of Special Communications and Information Protection of Ukraine.

The Commission emphasizes that this System was put into operation and has been in use since September 20, 2016. During the period of its use, 124 anonymous written tests were conducted and no technical failures were recorded during their conduct.

We would like to inform you that once the reasons for the technical failures are determined, the qualification exam will be immediately resumed and the public and judges will be informed.
