Ryabykh v Russia: ECHR 24 Jul 2003

The entrenched rights of a litigant would be illusory if a judicial decision by an independent body which had become final and binding could thereafter be quashed by a higher court on the application of a state official. A departure from that principle is justified only when made necessary by circumstances of a substantial and compelling character.
Held: The supervisory review procedure within Russia was incompatible with Article 6-1.
