McCanns appeal to the European Court of Human Rights

[jassi]

I believe only two cases were recorded as being rejected recently despite the Court receiving hundreds of Applications.

If its not admissible it doesn't get registered.

If a notification of rejection was published for every application, the the ECHR website would reflect that and a search function would be provided.

[John]

There are lots of records online that have registration  numbers but have been declared inadmissible ..

The European Court of Human Rights has today rejected an application from the family of Alfie Evans
in the case of Evans v. the United Kingdom (application no. 18770/18).
The case concerned the family’s argument that the prevention of Alfie’s transfer from Alder Hey
Hospital constituted deprivation of liberty and a violation of Article 5 (right to liberty and security) of
the European Convention on Human Rights.
In its decision the Court found that the application was inadmissible

The clerks reject many applications before they even reach registration.  An Application has to be competent and be submitted in the correct format otherwise it is sent back.

you can serach by name...just a google search

[Mr Gray]

The clerks reject many applications before they're even reach registration.

do you have a cite for that ...it doessnt sound correct at all....every application would need to be registered so that a record could be kept..

If your application is clearly inadmissible because it does not meet
all the required admissibility criteria, it will be dealt with by a
single judge. The inadmissibility decision given by that judge is
final and it will be communicated to you. It is not possible to
challenge the inadmissibility decision or request any further
information about it. The Court will close the case and the file
will be destroyed at a later date.

[Snowgirl]

Do you have a reason why it would not be accepted...
 From what I have seen if it had been rejected there would be a statement on the ECHR site

Do they publish a list of rejected applications ?  How much time elapses between the two ?
 Reasons it might be rejected.
 How about,
 •51% were rejected as manifestly ill-founded
 •10% were rejected because the applicants wanted the Court to quash, rehear or revise decisions taken by domestic courts ("fourth instance")

[John]

There is a fault with the Likes system at the moment which necessitated the removal of the function temporarily.  Hopefully we can get it back soon.

[jassi]

It is possible that rejections are published on line, but cannot be viewed unless you know the case number.

Sorry davel but that is not the case, I have been through the process so I know first hand what happens.  If an Application is incompetent for any reason it is sent back to the applicant by the court clerks.  A judge will only see competent Applications once they are checked, processed and registered.

in what way could it be manifestly ill founded........the mccanns are applying for a ruling on the violation of their human rights...they are not asking for a judgeemnt to be quashed...human right violations are exactly what the court deal with...


have you looked at any examples of manifestly ill founded....I doubt it

bib.  How long would pass between receiving an application and sending it back d'you think ?

then you are not talking about admissibility and the criteria you have mentioned.....an application would only not be registerd if the form was not fully completed .....i wouldnt expect the mccans lawyers not to fill in the forms. As the case has not been declared inadmissable by a judge....i would assume a revised application could be made in those cases

[John]

bib.  How long would pass between receiving an application and sending it back d'you think ?

Just days.  I found the process relatively quick in the initial stages.  Thereafter things can take months to move from a single judge who decides whether the Application has any merit to a panel who look at it in more detail.

[Mr Gray]

Just days

so the form can then be corrected and re sent.....

[jassi]

If an application is successfully lodged, the country involve must be notified of this. Do they publish lists of outstanding cases ?

[John]

so the form can then be corrected and re sent.....

Certainly.
