Information about the measures to comply with the judgment in the cases of

Garycki v. Poland and Finster v. Poland

Case description

Garycki, Application No. 14348/02, judgment of 06/02/2007, final on 06/05/2007

Finster, Application No. 24860/08, judgment of 08/02/2011, final on 08/05/2011

Both cases concern the violation of the presumption of innocence due to the domestic courts’ grounds for their decisions on the prolongation of the applicants’ detention (violation of Article 6 § 2 of the Convention) and the excessive length of detention on remand (violation of Article 5 § 3 of the Convention).

In the case of Garycki the Katowice Court of Appeal in its decision of 30 October 2001 and in the case of Finster the Gdańsk Court of Appeal in its decision of 19 March 2008 stated, before their guilt had been proved according to law, that the evidence against the applicants indicated that they had committed the offences with which they had been charged.

In its judgments, the European Court of Human Rights emphasised that there was a fundamental distinction to be made between a statement that someone was merely suspected of having committed a crime and a clear judicial declaration, in the absence of a final conviction, that the individual had committed the crime in question. The Court underlined that there could be no justification for a court of law to make a premature pronouncement of this kind.

In the case of Garycki, the applicant was convicted and sentenced to nine years’ imprisonment in December

In the case of Finster detention on remand was lifted on 26 June 2008. The Court awarded just satisfaction in respect of non-pecuniary damage.

In these circumstances, no other individual measure appears necessary.

II.

General measures

Violation of Article 6 § 2 of the Convention

The violation of Article 6 § 2 of the Convention in the present cases was rather of an isolated nature and resulted from failure of specific national courts. Therefore, it seems that the publication and dissemination of the Court’s judgment would be appropriated in order to avoid similar violations in the future.

In this context it should be noted, that the Court’s judgments were translated into Polish and published on the website of the Ministry of Justice (www.ms.gov.pl). The issues raised in the judgments were also included in the curricula of trainings for judges and prosecutors organised by the National School of Judiciary and Public Prosecution.

In these circumstances, no other general measure appears necessary.

Violation of Article 5 § 3 of the Convention

General measures are examined in the context of the Trzaska

group of cases (Application No. 25792/94).

III.

Conclusions of the responding State

The government considers that other individual measures are not necessary in the present cases and that the general measures adopted, in particular publication and dissemination of the judgment of the European Court of Human Rights, will be sufficient to conclude that Poland has complied with its obligations under Article 46, paragraph 1 of the Convention with respect to the breach of Article 6, paragraph 2 of the Convention.
