New System

LABURPENA: Lan honetan kasazio-errekurtsoaren araubide berriak ekainaren 21eko 7/2015 Lege Organikoa indarrean jarri ondoren indarrean dagoen administrazioarekiko auzien jurisdikzioan dauzkan ondorioak aztertzen dira. Sistema horren protagonista berriaren azterketa eta xedea, kasazio-interesaren kontzeptu zehaztugabea eta Auzitegi Gorenaren administrazioarekiko auzien salaren hautazko iritzia jorratzen dira. Bestalde, zuzenbidearen aplikazioan uniformetasunaren teknika ezartzeak dakartzan arriskuak jasotzen dira. Zalantzan jartzen da sistema berria, Giza Eskubideen Europako Auzitegiak benetako babes judizialari dagokionez errekurtsoa eskuratzeari buruz daukan doktrina erreferente hartuta eta zuzenbidea aplikatzeko berdintasunaren, segurtasun juridikoaren eta independentzia judizialaren printzipioetan dauzkan alboko kalteei buruz hausnartzen da. Azken batean, oso gutxik eskuratu ahalko duten sistema esklusibo bat aztertzen da. RESUMEN: En este trabajo se analizan las consecuencias del nuevo régimen del recurso de casación, en el orden jurisdiccional contencioso-administrativo, vigente tras la entrada en vigor de la Ley Orgánica 7/2015, de 21 de junio. Se aborda el estudio y finalidad del nuevo protagonista de este sistema, el concepto indeterminado de interés casacional y su apreciación discrecional por la Sala de lo contencioso-administrativo del Tribunal Supremo. Además, se recogen los peligros que entraña la instauración de la técnica de la uniformidad en la aplicación del derecho. Se cuestiona el nuevo sistema tomando como referente la doctrina del Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos sobre el acceso al recurso en relación con la tutela judicial efectiva y se reflexiona sobre los daños colaterales en los principios de igualdad en la aplicación del derecho, seguridad jurídica e independencia judicial. En definitiva, se examina un exclusivo sistema al que muy pocos tendrán acceso. ABSTRACT: This work analyzes the consequences of the new regime of the appeal in cassation for the contentious administrative order, in force after the entry into vigour of Organic Act 7/2015 of June 21st. We deal with the study and purpose of this new player in this system, the undefined concept of interest in appeal and its discretionary assessment by the Contentious-administrative chamber in the Supreme Court. Besides, hazards related to the implementation of the uniformity in the application of law technique are set out. The new system is disputed taking the European Court of Human Rights doctrine as a reference regarding the access to judicial review in connection with an effective remedy and we reflect on the collateral damages upon principles of equality in the application of law, legal certainty and judicial independence. In short, we examine an exclusive system accessible to too few.

In many international jurisdictions, including the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), one of the judges taking part in the proceedings must be a ‘national judge’, that is, a judge appointed in respect of a state that is party to the proceedings before the ECtHR. The mere presence of these national judges, their role and the way they are appointed have been the subject of much discussion, and doubts have been cast over their impartiality and independence. This article examines arguments that can be made for and against this practice, with particular emphasis on the role of national judges on the ECtHR.

Protection Of Human Rights

The article is devoted to the principle of the rule of law, implemented through the provisions of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms of 1950. (Convention) by the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). The relevance of studying this principle is due to the new approach formed by the Court that the rule of law is “inherent in all articles of the Convention.” We can see its application in the current case-law of the Court as one of the fundamental elements of the independence of national courts. Thus, the author aims to identify the theoretical and practical aspects of the ECHR’s approach to the problem of judicial independence and legal application of the rule of law principle, to study the relevant Court practice. The rule of law and the independence of the judiciary as the basic elements of the convention system are an integral part of the institution of the “European public order” developed by the ECHR, therefore it is necessary to trace their interconnection. The case-law of the ECHR served as the material for the study, which allowed us to identify all stages of the formation of the rule of law principle and its actual “content”. Analyzing judicial practice, along with using doctrinal approaches, we managed to identify the limits of permissible application of national laws, the powers of bodies and officials of various branches of government, bodies of the judicial community to the given problem, new aspects of the status of judges seen as one of the democratic values of society. To achieve this, the author used methods specific to studies of law and general scientific (traditional) research methods, with an emphasis on comparative and general legal methods, and the method of induction during the analysis of judicial practice. The paper examines the normative sources of law and judicial practice of the ECHR, allowing to reveal the principle of the rule of law, its correlation with the principle of judicial independence, the specifics of its impact on the domestic national judicial system and the functioning of the state apparatus, to determine the role of the principle in the convention mechanism of the protection of human rights.

Time for the European Court of Human Rights to interpret Article 6 ECHR to encompasses a subjective right for domestic judges to their own independence – Overview of the existing case law on the principle of judicial independence – Such a right currently not present in case law – Judges are obliged to frame their complaints, while at their heart independence-related, in terms of other substantive Convention rights – Court cannot properly address one of the fundamental aspects of these cases – Lower protection for the domestic judges – Other international legal orders do include such a subjective right to a judge’s independence – Several arguments for the European Court of Human Rights to similarly acknowledge such a right under the Convention – Few difficulties in integrating such a right into the existing case law
