Oleksiy Meniv, a partner of Shkrebets&Partners, successfully represented a client at the European Court of Human Rights.
Our client was found guilty of committing a traffic violation, however, the decision of the court of first instance was not provided to the applicant within the period specified by law for filing an appeal. In this regard, the deadline for filing an appeal was missed, and the appellate court refused to open proceedings.
Since the client’s right to access the court was violated, the Partnership team appealed to the European Court of Human Rights to restore justice. On January 11, 2024, the ECHR adopted a decision that satisfied our client’s complaint under Art. 6 of the Convention and was awarded just satisfaction.
Congratulations to the team that worked on this case on another achievement!
