The High Qualification Commission of Judges of Ukraine has recognized Judge Pavlo Vovk as having failed to confirm his ability to administer justice in the Administrative Court of Cassation as part of the Supreme Court. This was reported by UNN with reference to HQCJ.
"The Commission decided to recognize Pavlo Vovk as having failed to confirm his ability to administer justice in the Administrative Court of Cassation as part of the Supreme Court due to his failure to attend the meeting without valid reasons," the statement said.
Vovk wanted to become a judge of the Supreme Court.

On July 17 , 2020, SAPO prosecutors and NABU detectives served suspicion notices to DACK Chairman Vovk, his deputy, five judges of the court, the head of the State Judicial Administration of Ukraine, and four other persons.
The investigation found that the above-mentioned persons (12 people), headed by the DACK head, acted within the framework of a criminal organization aimed at seizing state power by establishing control over the High Qualification Commission of Judges of Ukraine (HQCJ), the High Council of Justice (HCJ) and creating artificial obstacles to their work.
In 2020, the Kyiv Court of Appeal confirmed the decision that Pavlo Vovk is not a suspect in the case of the so-called "DACK tapes" investigated by the NABU.
In June 2022, the case of the "Vovk tapes" was brought to court.
In 2022, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a law liquidating the Kyiv District Administrative Court and establishing the Kyiv City District Administrative Court.
In December 2022, the U.S. imposed sanctions on Vovk for demanding a bribe in exchange for interference in judicial and other public processes.
