House endorses judiciary independence bill
House endorses judiciary independence bill
Amman - Emirates Voice
The Lower House Sunday approved the amended 2017 judiciary independence draft law, the latest judicial reform piece of legislation passed by the lawmakers in parliament’s current extraordinary session.
The MPs recommended that serving and retired judges and their families be covered under article 26 of the health insurance system, equating them with senior officials, including ministers and parliament members and their dependents, who are entitled to full and free healthcare in public and private hospitals and clinics.
Under the bill, heads of the courts of first instance across the Kingdom are eligible for membership in the Judicial Council and only the eldest judge in the Court of Cassation can become a member in the council, not two as was the case. It also sets other procedures for the duration of the council members and its tasks.
The House on Tuesday begins debating the amended penal code bill, the last in the judicial reform package on the agenda of the extraordinary session.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
