SANTO DOMINGO.- With the expected spin of legal pundits and which Assembly president Reinaldo Pared called one of the best Constitutions in the last few years, last night concluded the second round of debates for its reform submitted by president Leonel Fernandez, which included proposals gathered during popular consultations and the commission of jurists who drafted the text.

The constitutional reform began Tuesday, April 14 and after six months the Revisory Assembly concluded the new Constitution’s general, transitory and definitive dispositions, although no date has been set for its proclamation.

Among the general dispositions approved was that "the judicial decisions which have acquired the irrevocably judged authority and those dictated by the Supreme Court in a hearing of a direct challenge as unconstitutional, in a date prior to or subsequent to when the Tribunal takes effect, may not be reviewed by the latter. And later ones will be “subject to procedures established by Law"

Another transitory disposition was that “the current Supreme Court Justices who aren’t slated for retirement for not having reached 75 years of age will be subjected to a performance evaluation by the National Magistrate Council, which will decide on their confirmation."
