Article 2664. Procedure for Reviewing a Case in the Supervisory Court

A case shall be reviewed under the supervisory procedure in accordance with the general rules established by this Code, taking into account the specific features provided in this chapter.

The review begins with a report by the presiding judge or one of the judges.

The reporting judge summarizes the case facts, the content of the court acts adopted in the case, the arguments of the supervisory complaint (protest), and the written opinions submitted. Then, the explanations of persons present at the court session are heard.

The complainant or their representative explains first. If the case is being reviewed based on a protest by the prosecutor, the prosecutor speaks first. If both parties have filed complaints, the applicant speaks first.

In accordance with Article 47 of this Code, government agencies and other persons involved in the case who have not filed a complaint shall speak after the parties and third parties.

After hearing all explanations, the supervisory court retires for deliberation.

The decision is adopted immediately after completion of the hearing.

In exceptional cases, the reasoned decision may be prepared within five days, but the operative part must be announced in the same session.

The judgesʼ deliberation, decision-making, and pronouncement shall be carried out in accordance with the procedure prescribed by this Code.
