During the last visit of the delegation of the Supreme Court to the European Court of Human Rights, judges expressed a wish, that during the visit of the lawyer of the ECHR Juris Rudevskis in Riga, he could take the floor with reading in the Supreme Court. It was possible to organise meeting today – on June, 8. Mr. Rudevskis gave an opinion about topical questions of the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) and answered questions of judges about court practice and interpretation of separate Paragraphs of European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (Convention).
Firstly, in discussion there was stressed dynamic development of the court practice of the ECHR, for example, sentences that were taken 5-6 years ago, can be a part of the court practice that is out-of-date and at present it is very important to follow newest statements of the case-law.
Secondly, the meaning of judges of national courts was stressed in application of the Convention. ECHR in its activity follows the principle of subsidiarity – procedural and material-law. Main persons, applying the Convention, are judges of national courts, not judges of ECHR. Firstly, important responsibility in application of the principle of subsidiarity lays on shoulders of judges of court of cassation instance, in order that Convention would be applied correctly. The ECHR interferes only when all national means of protection of rights have been depleted. Secondly, in relation to material-law aspect, the freedom of activity of the ECHR is quite limited, as interpretation of national legal standards, in principle, stands for the competence of domestic courts that know the real environment in the state – way of thinking, mentality – better. The ECHR can interfere only in case, if application of the legal standard was evidently lawless.

As from June 1, in order to save means, the Division of Complaints of the Supreme Court has been closed. In the future, functions of the division – acceptance of applications of persons and issue of answers – will be distributed among departments of the Senate, chambers and Document Administration Division of the Administration of the Court.
Three ex-employees of the division will continue to work as advisers of the Department of Civil Cases of the Senate and Documant Administration Division, but labour relationship has been eliminated with two other employees. So the work load of judges will increase, as judges will have to review applications from inhabitants and give answers to them. In year 2008 in the Division of Complaints 1406 applications from persons had been received that were related to different questions on judicial instances of Latvia, and 22 application – on questions of rehabilitation.
Due to lack of means as from June 1, eleven employees of chambers and divisions of the Administration were dismissed from their posts.
