  DEL SOL c. FRANCE

  Auszug aus EGMR, 28.07.2009 - 8958/04

  In this context, the Court points out that there is no obligation under the Convention to make legal aid available for disputes (contestations) in civil proceedings, as there is a clear distinction between the wording of Article 6 § 3 (c), which guarantees the right to free legal assistance on certain conditions in criminal proceedings, and of Article 6 § 1, which does not contain any reference to legal aid (see Del Sol v. France, no. 46800/99, § 20, ECHR 2002-II, and Essaadi v. France, no. 49384/99, § 30, 26 February 2002).

  ADOUD ET BOSONI c. FRANCE

  Auszug aus EGMR, 28.07.2009 - 8958/04

  Given the special nature of the court of cassation's role, which is limited to reviewing whether the law has been correctly applied, the Court is able to accept that the procedure followed in such courts may be more formal (see Meftah and Others v. France [GC], nos. 32911/96, 35237/97 and 34595/97, § 41, ECHR 2002-VII).

  POITRIMOL c. FRANCE

  Auszug aus EGMR, 28.07.2009 - 8958/04

  However, where such courts do exist, the guarantees of Article 6 must be complied with, for instance in that it guarantees to litigants an effective right of access to the courts for the determination of their "civil rights and obligations" (see, among many other authorities, Levages Prestations Services v. France, 23 October 1996, Reports 1996-V, pp. 1544-45, § 44, and Poitrimol v. France, judgment of 23 November 1993, Series A no. 277-A, § 13-15).

  GILLOW v. THE UNITED KINGDOM

  Auszug aus EGMR, 28.07.2009 - 8958/04

  A requirement that an appellant be represented by a qualified lawyer before the court of cassation, such as in the present case, cannot in itself be seen as contrary to Article 6. This requirement is clearly compatible with the characteristics of the Supreme Court as a highest court examining appeals on points of law and it is a common feature of the legal systems in several member States of the Council of Europe (see Gillow v. the United Kingdom, judgment of 24 November 1986, Series A no. 109, § 69; Vacher v. France, judgment of 17 December 1996, Reports of Judgments and Decisions 1996-VI, pp. 2148-49, §§ 24 and 28; Tabor, cited above, § 42; Staroszczyk v. Poland, referred to above, § 129; Sialkowska v. Poland, referred to above, § 106).

  TUZINSKI v. POLAND

  Auszug aus EGMR, 28.07.2009 - 8958/04

  Given the independence of the legal profession from the State, the conduct of the case is essentially a matter between the party and his or her counsel, whether counsel be appointed under a legal-aid scheme or be privately financed, and, as such, cannot, other than in special circumstances, incur the State's liability under the Convention (see, mutatis mutandis, Artico v. Italy, judgment of 30 May 1980, Series A no. 37, p. 18, § 36; Daud v. Portugal, judgment of 21 April 1998, Reports of Judgments and Decisions 1998-II, p. 749, § 38; Tuzinski v.

  Nevertheless, assigning counsel to represent a party to the proceedings does not in itself ensure the effectiveness of the assistance (see Imbrioscia v. Switzerland, judgment of 24 November 1993, Series A no. 275, § 38).

  It will depend on the circumstances of the case whether, taking the proceedings as a whole, the legal representation may be regarded as practical and effective (see, mutatis mutandis, Artico, cited above, § 33; Goddi v. Italy, judgment of 9 April 1984, Series A no. 76, p. 11, § 27; and Rutkowski, cited above).

  BAKOWSKA v. POLAND

  In discharging its obligation to provide parties to proceedings with legal aid when it is provided by domestic law, the State must, moreover, display diligence so as to secure to those persons the genuine and effective enjoyment of the rights guaranteed under Article 6 (see Del Sol v. France, no. 46800/99, § 21, ECHR 2002-II; Staroszczyk v. Poland, cited above, § 130, Sialkowska v. Poland, cited above, § 107, Smyk v. Poland, no. 8958/04, § 4, 28 July 2009; Arcinski v. Poland, no. 41373/04, § 34, 15 September 2009 and R.D. v. Poland, nos. 29692/96 and 34612/97, § 44, 18 December 2001, mutatis mutandis).

  I have elaborated on this in my dissenting opinions in Kulikowski v. Poland, 8958/04, 19 May 2009, and Smyk v. Poland, 18353/03, 28 July 2009.

  ZAPADKA v. POLAND

France, no. 46800/99, § 21, ECHR 2002-II; Staroszczyk v. Poland, cited above, § 130, Sialkowska v. Poland, cited above, § 107, Smyk v. Poland, no. 8958/04, § 4, 28 July 2009; Arcinski v.

  MUSCAT v. MALTA

  While reiterating that imposing on the State, for the purposes of civil proceedings, a more far-reaching procedural obligation in respect of legal aid than that applicable to criminal cases would be incompatible with the Court's case-law (see Smyk v. Poland, no. 8958/04, § 61, 28 July 2009), as inferred from the Polish cases mentioned above (see, for example, Sialkowska and Staroszczyk) the Court does not exclude that State responsibility within the ambit of civil proceedings may also be engaged in exceptional circumstances in respect of a failure of a legal-aid lawyer or of the system itself.
