SECOND SECTION

Application no. 77043/12 Kemal KOCAMAN against Turkey lodged on 5 October 2012

SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE

The application concerns civil proceedings before a small claims court where the applicant ’ s cases against two parties concerning a contractual dispute were joined. In its judgment dated 30 June 2011, the small claims court granted the applicant ’ s case against one party but omitted to render a final decision concerning the other. The applicant complains under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention that his right to obtain a determination of his dispute was violated.

QUESTION tO THE PARTIES

Did the applicant have a fair hearing in the determination of his civil rights and obligations, in accordance with Article 6 § 1 of the Convention? In particular, did the domestic court ’ s failure to render a final decision concerning the applicant ’ s dispute with the other party amount to a violation of the applicant ’ s right of access to a court (see, mutatis mutandis, Baškienė v. Lithuania , no. 11529/04, §§ 78-81, 24 July 2007)?
