Rogatory commission and delegation

Conditions for disposing the rogatory commission
Art. 132 - When a criminal investigation body or the court cannot hear a witness, perform a field investigation, take away objects or perform any other procedural act, they may address another criminal investigation body or another court, who have the possibility to perform them.

Initiating the criminal action, taking preventive measures, approving the evidence gathering procedure, as well as ordering the other procedural acts or measures are not the object of the rogatory commission.

The rogatory commission may only address a body or a court that are equal in rank.

The content of the rogatory commission
Art. 133 - The cancellation or closing by which the rogatory commission was instituted must include all clarifications on the performance of the act that makes its object, and in case a person is to be heard, the questions that he/she will be asked are also included.

The criminal investigation body or the court that form the rogatory commission may ask other questions too, if their necessity results during the hearing.

The rights of the parties in case of rogatory commission
Art. 134 - When the rogatory commission was ordered by the court, the parties may ask questions that will be communicated to the court which is to form the rogatory commission.

At the same time, any of the parties may ask to be summoned when the rogatory commission is formed.

When the defendant is under arrest, the court that will form the rogatory commission appoints an ex officio defender who will represent the defendant.

Delegation
Art. 135 - The criminal investigation body or the court may order, under the conditions mentioned in art.132, the performance of a procedural act by delegation as well. Only a hierarchically inferior body or court may be delegated.
