President Pavel appoints three new Constitutional Court judges

President Petr Pavel appointed three new members of the Constitutional Court on Monday for the first time since his inauguration in March.

They are former president of the Supreme Administrative Court Josef Baxa, constitutional law professor Jan Wintr and former president of the Judges' Union Daniela Zemanová, whose nominations were approved by the Senate last week.

The three have replaced judges whose ten-year mandate ended on May 3. Another constitutional judge completed his term in office this past weekend but the president has not yet announced a candidate for the post.
