(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 17 - Italy's appeals courts will be
"brought to their knees" by the government's reintroduction of
appeals against court rulings on migrants and the transfer of
validation of migrant detention from the Roma tribunal to
appeals courts after legal hurdles have so far stymied the
government's flagship Albania policy, magistrates union ANM said
Sunday.
The appeals courts will "be overwhelmed" by over 30,000 cases a
year, the ANM said.
It added that, amid government attacks after rulings against the
Albania protocol, it was appealing to the judiciary's
self-governing body, the Supreme Council of Magistrates (CSM),
to preserve the "independence and autonomy of the judiciary".
