FOURTH SECTION

Application no. 40044/18 András LESZKÓ against Hungary lodged on 17 August 2018

SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE

The application concerns the fairness of criminal proceedings conducted against the applicant. A second-instance bench quashed the first-instance judgment, remitted the case and gave guidance to the lower court on how to handle the case in the proceedings to be resumed. Subsequently, the same second-instance bench dealt with the appeal phase in the resumed proceedings.

QUESTION TO THE PARTIES

Did the applicant have a fair hearing in the determination of the criminal charges against him, in accordance with Article 6 § 1 of the Convention (see, mutatis mutandis , Castillo Algar v.
