ECHR a) The fact that a domestic court of appeal is competent to examine proprio motu grounds amounting to a notation of the Convention does not absolve the applicant from the obligation of raising the complaint before the court himself.
b) An applicant who claims that his right to a fair trial has not been respected by a court (United Kingdom) which admitted in evidence a confession made to the police must challenge the admissibility of the confession as evidence at the outset of the trial (by requesting a ‘voire dire’) or after the evidence has been submitted
