Chamber hearing concerning Poland
27/09/2022
The Court held a Chamber hearing in the case of Pietrzak v. Poland and Bychawska-Siniarska and Others v. Poland.
The case concerns the compatibility of the national legislation authorising secret surveillance by the police and intelligence services in respect of communications, and data collection about those communications (“metadata”), regarding the right to respect for private and family life and the right to an effective remedy.
Due to the interruption of the international postal services to and from the Russian Federation and where the only means of delivery of the Court’s decisions and judgments to the applicants is by post, the Court has exceptionally decided to notify the applicants about decisions and judgments adopted by its Chamber and Committee judicial formations after 1 March 2022 in respect of applications against the Russian Federation only via its HUDOC database.

Judgment concerning the United Kingdom
27/09/2022In the case of Otite v. the United Kingdom, the Court has found that there would be no violation of the right to respect for private and family life if the applicant were deported from the United Kingdom to Nigeria.
The case concerned a Nigerian national being served in October 2015 with notice of his liability to deportation, despite having been granted Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK in 2004. The notice came after his conviction in 2014 on two counts of conspiracy to make or supply articles for use in fraud.
The Court found that the strength of the applicant’s family and private life in the UK did not outweigh the public interest in his deportation.
