SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE
The application mainly concerns the applicant’s inability to appear before a court for twenty-one days during his pre-trial detention, and the dismissal of his objection filed against the detention order by the appeal court on the basis of the public prosecutor’s written opinion that had not been communicated to the applicant or to his representative. The applicant further complained under Article 5 § 5 of the Convention about the lack of compensation under domestic law.
