EUROPEAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS IN ACTION / Alla Tymofeyeva (ed.)

It appears that in 2006 the applicant’s relatives brought court proceedings seeking to return the status of full capacity to the applicant. The Court has not been provided with any information about the outcome of those proceedings.

Questions: 1. Is the application admissible? If not, on which grounds? 2. Was there an “interference” with the right of the applicants? 3. Was the interference “necessary in a democratic society”? 4. What would be your legal advice to the applicant? 5. How would you decide the case if you were a judge of the Court?
