Activists from the public organization "Road Control. Odessa" attended a court hearing at the Primorsky District Court of Odessa. Judge Volodymyr Zagorodnyuk of the Primorsky District Court of Odessa was caught on camera blatantly disrupting the court process during an administrative offense hearing.
The video shows the judge issuing a ruling without judicial debate, unreasonably refusing to hear other witnesses, and refusing to consider several motions from the parties, including a motion to add written objections to the case file. The judge offers no justification for his actions. Having also expressed dissatisfaction with the legally conducted video recording of the court hearing, Judge Volodymyr Zagorodnyuk addressed the filming: "A little time will pass and there will be order," perhaps hinting to those present that the activists will soon no longer be able to bother him with their presence.
According to the Code of Professional Ethics, a judge must be an example of law-abidingness, adhere to his oath, and always conduct himself in a manner that strengthens citizens' faith in the honesty, independence, and fairness of the court.
After seeing this, it is unlikely that citizens will have strengthened their faith in a fair and just court, and let the expression "A little time will pass and order will be" be prophetic, because order must come someday, but without judges who do not respect citizens and the law.
