McCanns appeal to the European Court of Human Rights

[Venturi Swirl]

He seems to have had the right to inform the public of the details and conclusions of the investigation up to 10th September 2007.

"Seemed to"?  What right did he have to continue promoting his conclusions (videos, interviews) after he was kicked off the case and after the case was shelved owing to the lack of evidence against the McCanns?

Every right, it would appear.  Who would be in the position to prevent him?

Well, in this country it would be the laws of the land.  In Portugal it seems anything goes, as long as it's not a judge or member of the judicial system being impugned.

The UK law doesn't apply. Chill and accept that fact.

Doesn't matter what they were, answering or what the court expected them to prove.  The ECHR case us not an examination of the Portuguese hearings. 
It is simply a case which will examine whether the mccanns human rights were violated. It will.. Imo.. Look at the balance between article 10 and 8... And if course the mccanns right to the POI

There's nothing simple about it. If the correct procedures haven't been followed it won't be accepted.

[Mr Gray]

Simplicity is in the, eye of the beholder... Of course it won't be accepted if correct procedures haven't been followed .
The procedures are relatively simple from what I can see and we have no reason to believe they haven't.  If it had been  thrown out then as I understand a ruling would hace been made and ut would be searchable

[Mr Gray]

But European law does

Are the articles you refer to the same as on this website https://www.un.org/en/universal-declaration-human-rights/index.html?

"Article 8.
 
Everyone has the right to an effective remedy by the competent national tribunals for acts violating the fundamental rights granted him by the constitution or by law.

"Article 10.
 
Everyone is entitled in full equality to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal, in the determination of his rights and obligations and of any criminal charge against him.

According to Davel Amaral is very important in the process.

Without what in my opinion is Amaral's vindictive vendetta by means of book; interviews on tv and in the press; his documentary using proven seriously flawed argument against Kate and Gerry McCann there would have been no court case of any kind ultimately resulting in appeal to the ECHR.
If you like ... Amaral could be considered to be the catalyst and the whole raison d'être for much of the unnecessary controversy associated with Madeleine's disappearance and the naked hatred many feel free to express regarding any positive action taken on her behalf.

However he is in my opinion an irrelevance except as a footnote as far as the conduct of the Portuguese courts and judiciary is concerned ...  I think it is the result of their handiwork, not Amaral's, which will be the main focus in any forthcoming European Court of Human Rights case.

Don't you mean https://www.echr.coe.int/Documents/Convention_ENG.pdf    "European Convention of Human Rights"

OK these may have a different list of articles compared to the UN Convention of Human Rights.

I know, exactly  what I mean.... The link I posted is explicitly Re balancing articles 8 and 10..
Which is precisely what the SC in Portugal attempted to do

Well I asked you a question "Are the articles you refer to the same as on this website https://www.un.org/en/universal-declaration-human-rights/index.html?"  One would think your response would help to answer that question.

I think the fact that I was helpful enough to repost the link I was referring to would realise that your link was not the one I had found my information from.
As I said... My link is to an ECHR set of cases dealing with exactly the question the SC was trying to answer... Exactly what the, ECHR will be considering... Imo... In the McCann case

OK  No problems, so that whole paper was just about those two articles!
