The advisory board of the Judges’ Club decided in a general meeting on Monday to postpone the urgent general assembly scheduled on 5 May to discuss further moves against amendments made to the Judicial Authority Law. The club aims to prepare a new draft law for discussion in parliament as an alternative to the amendments that recently came into effect. The club further agreed on filing a lawsuit against the law as an alternative plan, believing that it is unconstitutional.

The law came into affect after President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi ratified the law, and it was published in the official Gazette
