I.GOVERNMENT'S PRELIMINARY OBJECTION (APPLICANT'S IMPLIED WITHDRAWAL)
No basis on which the Court could strike the case out of the list

II.ARTICLE 6 § 3 (a) OF THE CONVENTION
Discrepancy between the provision of the Criminal Code referred to in the submissions of the public prosecutor and the civil party and the provision cited in the judgment had clearly been result of mere clerical error - legal classification given to findings of fact set out in investigating judge's committal order had been of sufficient clarity.
Conclusion: no violation (unanimously).
