SECOND SECTION
Application no. 52107/14 Özcan Şişman against Turkey and 72 other applications (see list appended) communicated on 11 May 2022
SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE
A list of applicants, who were members of the judicial profession as judges and prosecutors at the time of events giving rise to the present applications, are set out in the appendix. The applications concern the applicants’ alleged inability to have recourse to judicial review of the decisions of the High Council of Judges and Prosecutors (became "the Council of Judges and Prosecutors" (HSK) since the constitutional revision of 2017) to transfer them to different judicial districts or to remote cities despite being in the same judicial district or to subject them to a demotion with or without transfer (see for the latter situation application nos. 56732/15 and 3117/16)
The applicants complain in substance or invoking Article 6 § 1 of the Convention that they did not have access to a court to challenge the HSK’s decision to transfer them. They complain in this respect that the manner in which they were transferred from one location to another in the absence of judicial review is incompatible with the independence of the judiciary and rule of law.
The applications raise issues similar to those examined in Bilgen v. Turkey (no. 1571/07, §§ 69-81 and §§ 91-97, 9 March 2021) and Eminağaoğlu v. Turkey (no. 76521/12, §§ 36, 76 and §§ 99-102, 9 March 2021).
QUESTION TO THE PARTIES
In the light of the principles established in Bilgen v. Turkey (no. 1571/07, §§ 69-81 and §§ 91-97, 9 March 2021) and Eminağaoğlu v. Turkey (no. 76521/12, §§ 36, 76 and §§ 99-102, 9 March 2021) did the applicants have access to a court for the determination of their civil rights and obligations, concerning the decisions to transfer them, in accordance with Article 6 § 1 of the Convention?
