Information Note on the Court’s case-law 61
February 2004
Sardin v. Russia (dec.) - 69582/01
Decision 12.2.2004 [Section I]
Article 35
Article 35-1
Six-month period
Quashing of final judgment in supervisory review procedure: inadmissible
Facts: The applicant brought a civil action requesting the status of victim of nuclear tests, which was granted to him by the District Court. The final judgment in his favour was subsequently quashed in supervisory review proceedings by the Presidium of the Regional Court. In a new determination of the applicant’s claim, the District Court dismissed his action.
Inadmissible: As there was no effective remedy against a ruling adopted by way of supervisory review at the time, the very act of quashing of the final judgment triggered the start for calculation of the six month period: out of time.
