On 21 March 2014, a sitting of the High Council of Justice, which was called upon the initiative of non-judge members to consider, according to the agenda, a number of important issues (a problem of the Tbilisi City Court being overloaded, an issue of the appointment of standby judges) was frustrated. The reason of this was the failure of non judge members of the Council to turn up for the sitting. This was the first Council sitting ever summoned on the initiative of non-judge members. However, the judge members not only failed to support this initiative but also completely ignored it. As employees of the office of the Council noted, each Council member was notified about the sitting in advance.
