20.500.12556/DKUM-88355 The right to a fair trial of legal persons throughout the case law of the ECHR and the CJEU The ambition of this article is an analysis of the right to a fair trial of legal entities through the prism of the jurisprudence of the ECtHR and the CJEU. Despite the factual admission of the right to a fair trial to companies in the case law of the Courts, the absence of a strong theoretical foundation and persuasive explanation in their judgments raises ambiguity as to the ECtHR and the CJEU positions in that regard. In that context, the article examines landmark cases of both Courts and relevant doctrinal considerations concerning the application of guarantees provided by the right to a fair trial to legal persons. The ECtHR case law is considered inconsistent and the Strasbourg court, it appears, tries to avoid any far-reaching conclusions. The CJEU in its case law, due to the inherent focus of EU law on economic values, interprets the right to a fair trial of companies broadly, and sometimes, broader than it is needed. It is concluded that the issue requires more attention from both the Courts and legal scholars, in the view of serious consequences the ignorance and unfounded admission of any fundamental right could entail to the society and economy. the right to a fair trial the right to an effective legal remedy legal persons companies fundamental rights of companies ECHR Charter of Fundamental Rights človekove pravice mednarodno pravo mednarodna sodišča Evropsko sodišče za človekove pravice true false true Univerza v Mariboru, Univerzitetna založba Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2024-04-18 09:54:43 2024-04-18 10:01:48 2024-04-19 03:16:41 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2023 0 0 Str. 77-98 Št. 1 Letn. 15 Jun. 2023 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 2023-03-13 2023-06-01 2023-06-29 347.9(4) 163152643 10.18690/lexonomica.15.1.77-98.2023 1855-7147 Sokolova-2023-THE_RIGHT_TO_A_FAIR_TRIAL_OF_LEG.pdf Sokolova-2023-THE_RIGHT_TO_A_FAIR_TRIAL_OF_LEG.pdf 1 B631EFE429D7CC8688483C8698E27FCB 9494b2682873f9212f6f4a7afe0be25c790139a0d32e9f1906df4af0563d66ed ae4e4e35-fd59-11ee-bd4d-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=178697 https://doi.org/10.18690/lexonomica.15.1.77-98.2023 0 ec3acc6f-fd58-11ee-bd4d-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=178695 Pravna fakulteta LeXonomica 0 0 0
