FOURTH SECTION
Application no. 5769/11
Sándor Zsigmond SCHESZTÁK
against Hungary
lodged on 18 January 2011
SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE
The applicant initiated a labour lawsuit requesting the court to declare invalid the termination of his employment. The Supreme Court reversed the final and binding judgment in the case and dismissed the applicant’s claim without awaiting the applicant’s comments on the petition for review, although the applicant had dispatched his comments in due time. The applicant claims that the delivery of the judgment by the Supreme Court without awaiting his comments violated his right to a fair hearing under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention.
QUESTION TO THE PARTIES
Did the applicant have a fair hearing in the determination of his civil rights and obligations, in accordance with Article 6 § 1 of the Convention, in view of the fact that the Supreme Court reversed the final and binding judgment and found against the applicant without giving him the opportunity to comment on the respondent’s petition for review?
