The trial court considered JH’s evidence reliable, having regard to its detail, certainty and consistency. The reliability of his evidence was enhanced by the fact that JH had known all the defendants well and had had no motive to incriminate them. Furthermore, the trial court considered that JH’s evidence was objective since he had not concealed any facts which might have put him in a negative light as he admitted that he had been selling the drugs for the applicant to KJ, GS, PK and AB and that he had stolen the car.

The article described the applicant’s version of events, in which he stated that the victims had been trying to steal metal parts from an electricity transformer and he had warned them and then fired at their motorcycle with his shotgun. They had fired back with a rifle and he had fired two shots in their direction. The article continued as follows: “The investigation is not able to confirm that there was an EXCHANGE OF FIRE near the sub-station. The Prosecutor of Golopristansky District, Sergey Mikhalkov, stresses: ‘Despite the efforts made, we did not find any spent cases from the sawn-off small-bore rifle. On the other hand, there were two unused cartridges. Searches in the houses of those killed produced no results either: neither ammunition packaging nor spare parts for the weapon have been found. The fingerprints did not stay on the rifle – it was raining, and the barrel was oiled. Incidentally, none of the acquaintances of the deceased ever saw the sawn-off rifle in their possession. Therefore, the criminal proceedings against Victor Trymbach were initiated not on account of his exceeding the limits of self-defence, but under Article 93 ‘d’ of the C[riminal] C[ode].

nearly three years
41.

He claimed that he had sold the shop to V.A.Ö. and that the photographs and maps did not belong to him. He requested that V.A.Ö. be heard by the court. He further contended that the search in the shop was illegal and that he had not been informed of the charges against him by the officials who had conducted the search. The applicant reiterated that he had sold books and silver accessories to a Greek official, L.K. and that this person had requested him to provide confidential information. He also contended that he had contacted L.K. and another Greek official, S.K., whom he knew as “Yorgo”, in order to maintain his business and that the information that he had given was false. The applicant’s representative stressed that the applicant’s statements had been taken under torture by MIT officers. She referred in this connection to the medical report dated
three years
24. On 5 April 2000 the Ordzhonikidze District Bailiffs’ Service terminated the proceedings in the applicant’s case due to the lack of funds of the Zaporizzhia Regional Police Department.

29 September 2006
117. On 28 September 2006 the Chief Executive of MHPA advised the applicants’ solicitor that he was unable to disclose any of the material requested as to do so could seriously jeopardise the fairness of the judicial review proceedings. He also relied on the refusal of the companies concerned to consent to the disclosure of material from the reports. In weighing up the public interest test, as required by the Environmental Information Regulations, he noted that notwithstanding the presumption in favour of disclosure, disclosure was not in the public interest in the present case as the information requested should not be made publicly available without an explanatory context and where it would cause unnecessary confusion or concern. The applicants’ solicitor replied on
the next weeks
95. According to the Government, the applicant company impeded the execution of the writs issued by the court by hiding its corporate register from the bailiffs.

The register was then dispatched by ordinary post to a location in Russia so that, over

28 August 1997
11. This decision was upheld by the Supreme Court's appeal bench on 23 November 2005. It stressed that – contrary to what was apparently argued by the applicants – the running of the one-year time-limit had not been interrupted by the review proceedings in which the decision of

16. The applicant appealed against the decision. He reiterated that he had been hit first by the police officer and made reference to the clinical evaluation form to prove the violence suffered.

It therefore upheld the county court’s decision, on
11 August 2008
40. By a letter dated 28 July 2008 counsel for the Attorney General informed the IAIACAP that the applicant’s complaint could not be investigated because the applicant had left Cyprus. The applicant was informed of that decision on

On 25 September 2009 the Novotroitsk Town Court dismissed the applicant’s request, having found as follows: “Having examined the applicant’s arguments, having studied the materials in the case file, having heard a representative of colony no. 5... and a prosecutor who petitioned for the dismissal of [the applicant’s] request for release on parole on medical grounds, having reviewed the materials of [the applicant’s] prison record, having heard a doctor from colony no. 5 who [stated] that [the applicant] suffers from an illness which is included on the list of illnesses serving as a ground for release on parole, [and having considered] that [the applicant has] violated the detention rules on ninety-six occasions and that [those violations] did not expire or were not lifted, the court finds that [the applicant’s] request should be dismissed on the following grounds: [the applicant] suffers from an illness which is included in the list of illnesses serving as a ground for early release on medical grounds, but the court takes into account that during his detention [the applicant has] committed ninety-six violations of the detention rules which were not lifted and which did not expire. By a decision of

The applicant stated that his meetings with the voters during the second round of elections would start on 12 October.

9. On 27 March 2003 Mr Dementyev, the first deputy president of the Sverdlovsk Regional Court, sent the following letter to the head of the Verkh-Issetskiy police department of Yekaterinburg: “With the consent of the Yekaterinburg town administration, a group of citizens comprising Mr Sh., Mr Kuznetsov and Ms M., held a picket in front of the building of the Sverdlovsk Regional Court... The picket notice indicated that the purpose of the picket was ‘to attract public attention to violations of the human right of access to a court’. As the subsequent events demonstrated, the picket organisers misled the officials of the Yekaterinburg town administration as to the real purposes of their action. Instead of drawing public attention to the problems of judicial protection and violations of human rights, as it was indicated in the picket notice – if they believed that such problems existed – which would be hard to contradict because the said problems exist in reality, for three days the picket participants distributed printed leaflets and materials of a slanderous and insulting nature which targeted the president of the Sverdlovsk Regional Court personally. The information contained in the extract from the Novaya Gazeta newspaper was

32. On 24 September 1998 the applicant lodged a notice of appeal with the Regional Court. On 16 October 1998 the applicant’s counsel informed the court that the applicant did not intend to contest the judgment and withdrew his notice of appeal. In consequence, the judgment became final on
sixteen years
19. On 5 May 2010 the applicants lodged a complaint with the Constitutional Court (Ústavný súd) under Article 127 § 1 of the Constitution (Constitutional Law no. 460/1992 Coll., as amended). They considered the dismissal of their action arbitrary and alleged that their rights under, inter alia, Article 6 § 1 of the Convention (access, fairness, adequate reasoning) and the constitutional equivalent of Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 had been violated. Among other things, they argued that – on the specific facts – their case fell outside the purview of the restitution laws cited in the Regional Court’s judgment and that the existence of the restitution laws as leges speciales did not exclude the application of the rules on protection of property rights under the Civil Code as a lex generalis. In addition, the applicants submitted that judicial practice had varied. They referred to the District Court’s judgment in case no. 15C 251/94 and its judgments in a number of other cases concerning the same sports centre, in which the application of general civil law in an identical context had been accepted. Although they had raised this specific argument before the Regional Court, the latter had taken no position on it and its reasoning had been generally inadequate and arbitrary. Moreover, the applicants emphasised that it had been
24 March 2000
12. On 11 March 1999 the court appointed an expert and asked him to submit an opinion within forty days. The file was submitted to the expert on 16 March 1999. Subsequently the District Court repeatedly urged the expert to submit the opinion. On
26 May 2004
13. The Government also stated that afterwards R.A. had been considered a missing person (dingęs be žinios). In order to find him, the authorities had entered information into the relevant registers and databases. Various police records had been inspected. R.A. had been sought in medical establishments. Information with regard to unidentified corpses had been checked in order to look for similarities. The media had also been employed to ask the general public for assistance. The search had been closed on
15 August 2007
31. In his appeal submission the applicant repeated his arguments that he had a permanent place of residence and employment in Moscow and positive references. He reiterated that a member of Parliament had vouched for his attendance and that his relatives were ready to post bail for him. On
between two and a half and three and a half years
65. On 18 August 2014 the Zamoskvoretskiy District Court of Moscow examined another “Bolotnaya” case and found four individuals guilty of participating in mass disorder and committing violent acts against police officers during the demonstration on 6 May 2012. They received prison sentences of

13. On 20 March 2002 the Grand Chamber of the Court of Cassation’s Civil Division rejected the appeal and upheld the Üsküdar Court’s decision of 27 September 1999. The court noted that there was no dispute that, inter alia, the municipality headed by Mr Bingöl had failed to execute certain court judgments. However, it remained to be determined whether the words used by the applicant in the course of the administrative proceedings had a valid basis and whether these words constituted an attack against Mr Bingöl’s personal rights. In this connection, it considered that the applicant had overstepped the standards and boundaries of objective debate by using the terms “bigot”, “cruel” and “no regard for the rule of law”. The applicant had attacked Mr Bingöl’s personal rights. It also considered that the sanctions for the non-execution of a court decision – of which the mayor had been accused – were provided for by statute and that this could not be considered to be a valid reason for the applicant to cross the legally permissible boundaries and use the words he had. Finally, it held that listening to witnesses or examining the case file before the administrative courts would not have changed the outcome. The Grand Chamber of the Court of Cassation’s Civil Division also decided to remit the case to the 4th Chamber of the Court of Cassation’s Civil Division for an examination of the applicant’s complaints concerning the excessive amount of compensation. A request by the applicant for the review of that decision was rejected on
The same day
15. The applicant alleged that he had initially refused to sign this record and requested a lawyer. This became the reason why he was kept in the Police Station for the following five and a half hours. During this period, the police officers were persistently trying to convince him to sign the record and to refuse a lawyer. They told him that it was unnecessary to have a lawyer and spend money for such a minor case. They further said that the case had been already pre-decided by their superiors, so a lawyer would only harm rather than help, as he may end up spending quite some time in the Police Station because of that. On the other hand, if he signed the record and refused a lawyer, he would be immediately taken to a court, where at worst a small fine would be imposed and he would be released. The applicant finally succumbed and agreed to sign the record and to refuse a lawyer.

Consequently, the sale of the applicant's apartment had become final and it was no longer possible to claim the nullity of the proceedings. The court therefore revised its decision of
