Summary
The session commenced with a discussion of Draft Resolution 744 of the Riigikogu, "Appointment of Martin Triipan as a Member of the Supreme Court," presented by Villu Kõve, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Timo Suslov, representing the Constitutional Committee, introduced the committee's debate, noting that Martin Triipan's candidacy was supported by a majority in both the Council for the Administration of Courts and the Supreme Court's General Assembly. The committee unanimously decided to include the draft resolution on the plenary session agenda and proceed with the final vote.
Martin Triipan, the candidate for Supreme Court Justice, delivered a brief but substantial presentation, highlighting his 25 years of work as an attorney and the three principles that would guide him as a judge: thoroughness, speed, and cooperation. In the subsequent question-and-answer session, Triipan was posed a wide array of questions covering both ideological topics (e.g., the Istanbul Convention, the relationship between European Union law and the Constitution, the green transition) and practical issues within the legal system (judicial reform, procedural efficiency, access to legal aid). Triipan stressed the necessity of adhering to the Constitution and existing laws and confirmed that he would recuse himself from the deliberation of cases where he had previously been involved as a party to the proceedings (e.g., the Nursipalu case). Following the closure of debate, a secret final vote was conducted, resulting in the adoption of the draft resolution. At the close of the session, a technical failure occurred, preventing the vote on extending the session before the introduction of a new agenda item, necessitating the announcement of a short recess.

Supreme Court justice candidate Martin Triipan explains that although the international convention ratified by the Riigikogu is binding on Estonia, it is not directly applicable. Therefore, the responsibility for domestic implementation, shaping legal acts, and interpreting the provisions rests primarily with the legislature, which thereby defines the associated value framework in Estonia.

Kalle Grünthal presented the candidate for Supreme Court Justice with a dilemma between the European Union's political advertising regulation and the freedom of assembly guaranteed by the Estonian Constitution, asking for clarification on how a citizen should proceed in a situation where these two obligations conflict, and which of the two—the EU regulation or the constitutional order—should take precedence in terms of loyalty and compliance.

AI Summary
Martin Triipan, a candidate for the Supreme Court, emphasizes that although European Union law applies within the Estonian legal order, the domestic implementation of EU regulations by supervisory bodies is not always unambiguously defined. Instead, it must always take into account the provisions of the Constitution and the principle of proportionality, in addition to the text of the regulation itself, meaning the final regulatory framework depends on the broader legal order.

Andres Metsoja highlights the inevitable conflict between environmental and economic policy, which results in legal dilemmas.

AI Summary
Supreme Court candidate Martin Triipan argues that the inevitable collision between environmental and economic issues—influenced by both domestic and EU legislation—is often insufficiently debated in the Riigikogu (Parliament). Consequently, this leaves society uncertain, forcing courts to resolve politically unresolved problems through legal interpretation. It would be much clearer if socially significant issues were settled at the level of the legislature, providing the courts with clear guidance on which principles to follow.
