SECOND SECTION

Application no. 76892/14 Irina ȘCERBININA against the Republic of Moldova and Russia lodged on 4 December 2014

SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE

The application concerns the applicant ’ s dismissal from employment and the alleged unfairness of the ensuing court proceedings in the Transdniestrian region of Moldova. The case raises issues similar to those examined in Sobco and Ghent v. the Republic of Moldova and Russia (nos. 3060/07 and 45533/09, 18 June 2019).

The applicant complains under Article 6 of the Convention that the proceedings were not fair because the courts which examined her case were not “tribunals established by law”. She also complains under Article 13 that she did not have an effective remedy against the breach of her rights guaranteed by Article 6 of the Convention.
