In the case of Stoianoglo v. the Republic of Moldova, the Court held that there had been a violation of the right of access to a court.

The case concerned a Prosecutor General’s alleged inability to appeal against his suspension, which had been triggered by criminal proceedings that had been brought against him.

The Court found that the applicant had not been afforded any form of judicial protection in relation to his suspension, which had prevented him from performing his duties and had deprived him of the corresponding salary for more than two years.
