The ECHR has published a new version of the Rules of Court, which incorporates amendments concerning the third-party intervention. In parallel, new guidelines (a Practice Direction) have been issued by the President of the Court with a view to clarifying the manner in which third parties can intervene, in particular as concerns time-limits for making written submissions, the content and scope of such submissions, and the way in which the Court uses them when examining cases.
