By the initiative of the Minister of Justice, the Notary Chamber has been given the opportunity for the second time to independently elect the chairman. Despite the fact that the Law “On Notary” allows the Minister of Justice to select a candidate of the chairman and nominate him/her to the General Meeting of Notaries, Ms. Tea Tsulukiani refused to solely nominate the candidate as in 2014 and provided that possibility to the notaries to independently elect the Chairman of the Board. As a result of electronic primaries, the notaries gave priority to Ms. Marika Gogoladze for the position of the Chairman of the Chamber. The Minister of Justice presented her to the Meeting for approval.
