McCanns appeal to the European Court of Human Rights

Then let us sit comfortably and await to see what presumption prevails. 
Worth remembering that your present argument resembles the one made by some that an application would even be submitted.

Have you  cites  to show

a) that an application has been submitted ?
b) that it's been accepted ?

The appeal was lodged in July by their Portuguese lawyer Isabel Duarte and they are now waiting for a date to be confirmed.

 Gerry and Kate McCann have made a last ditch appeal to the European Court of Human Rights after a Portuguese judge ruled against them.

A source close to the couple said: "They discussed the situation with their legal team and they decided that ultimately it was worth fighting the decision of the Portuguese court.

"They are upset that the court made this ruling but are also desperately upset at Amaral’s claims which are ludicrous and hurtful.’’

Last night the European Court of Human Rights confirmed an appeal had been lodged and officials were investigating its "admissibility’’ before deciding what to do next.

Family spokesman Clarence Mitchell told The Sun: "I can confirm that Kate and Gerry have lodged an appeal application at the European Court of Human Rights and the application is being considered.

Correct,sadly you win nothing.

Not really. Two years ago I posted:
"They have to "do" the Supreme Court bit before they can even think about ECHR. Something about "exhausting all national remedies".
Then the argument becomes McCann v State of Portugal.
I'll make a wager involving the ECHR giving the case an airing and me giving part of my anatomy an airing in The Mander Centre in Wolverhampton  "

State ordered to pay €68,000 to Casa Pia defendant Paulo Pedroso

After all the years of media revelations and headlines, the Casa Pia child sex abuse investigation has suffered another hammer blow.

The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has condemned the Portuguese State over its treatment of former Socialist minister Paulo Pedroso, “understanding that at the moment of his arrest there did not exist sufficient proof that (he) had committed crimes of sexual abuse of minors, as related by the youngsters”.

The court has ordered the State to pay “around 68,000 euros to Paulo Pedroso”. According to reports, authorities must stump up the money within the next three months.

The ECHR’s decision comes after Paulo Pedroso endured months of imprisonment (in 2003), having the moment of his arrest “captured by television channels” which then beamed it all over the country.

The court criticised the decision of judge Rui Teixeira who “did not allow lawyers for the defence access to medical reports of the alleged victims” and further condemned the subsequent courts (both appeal and the Supreme Court of Justice) for having denied Pedroso damages for his illegal detention.

This ruling comes after the former Minister for Labour and one-time spokesman for the Socialist Party sued the State for €600,000 on the grounds that his arrest was illegal and destroyed his political career.

Pedroso’s battle to clear his name has taken years. As long ago as 2008, Lisbon’s Court of Appeal dropped all charges against him, stressing that it could not detect sufficient evidence to take him and two others (one being celebrated comedian Herman José) to court.

Thus, 10 years on, Paulo Pedroso may at last receive compensation as a result of the longest trial and possibly most confusing trials in Portuguese history.

So it was ruled that the SCs judgement was incorrect

So it was ruled that the SCs judgement was incorrect

There are some parallels with the McCann case but I thought the 10 year time span of the case against the Portuguese justice system may be an indication of how long it could take Kate & Gerry to be vindicated. IMO.

10 years. My, how these things do drag out.
