Assessing a possible application to the European Court of Human Rights

The European Court of Human Rights examines applications concerning alleged violations of rights protected by the European Convention. It is not another appeal court for every disagreement with a national judgment.

What must be assessed

  • The right relied on and the relevant facts.
  • The domestic remedies used and whether they were effective.
  • The final decision, its service and the applicable application deadline.
  • Admissibility requirements and the documents needed.

A consultation or a message to the law office does not suspend the time limit for applying to the Court. Prepare judgments, proof of service, applications and appeals already pursued, together with a chronology.

Request a review of your documents

The law office assesses the requirements for a possible application and the services it can provide. We do not guarantee admissibility or a particular outcome. Send confidential documents using the agreed method.
