Ballaoui limits appeals
Hicham Balaoui, head of Morocco’s Public Prosecutor’s Office, called on judicial officials to follow six directives aimed at making appeals against criminal rulings more measured: review judgments and their reasoning, and verify that there are serious grounds for appeal; assess whether appealing judgments in misdemeanor cases is worthwhile; avoid automatic appeals; exercise restraint in appealing orders issued by investigating judges, while bearing in mind that pretrial detention is exceptional; limit appeals to the Court of Cassation to serious legal grounds set out in Article 534 of the Code of Criminal Procedure; and monitor the outcome of appeals, examine their results, and hold guidance meetings. He asked that the directives be circulated to public prosecutors and that the Office of the President of the Public Prosecutor’s Office be informed of the steps taken and any difficulties that may arise in implementing them.
