Judgment concerning Slovenia
The case of X and Others v. Slovenia concerned custody decisions and contact rights following the separation of the applicant from her children’s father. It also concerned the reassignment of the applicant’s court case to a particular judge.
The Court held that there had been a violation of the right to a fair trial, as regards the applicant’s right to a tribunal established by law, and violations of the right to respect for private and family life with respect both to:
- the applicant children, as regards the order to remove them from the applicant’s (their mother’s) care, their not being represented in the contact and custody proceedings, and their not being allowed contact with their mother;
- the applicant, for not being allowed contact with her children.
