The court refuses the video; the claimants object

District Court (Leeuwarden) · Claimants (Stassen)

Court decision · binding on the parties

In 30 seconds

The court accepts the written evidence but rejects the video exhibit. The claimants' lawyer answers with a full objection citing the right to a fair trial (Article 6 ECHR), and a supplement on 1 October.

Cheat sheet

  1. No public copy of the 23 September decision has been found; it is known from the objection letter and the case site.
  2. The objection invokes Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights, the right to a fair hearing.
  3. Three weeks later, on 14 October, the court changes course.

Every defendant denies the claims, and the court has not ruled on them. Allegations are the claimants' pleaded positions, quoted as theirs. This is analysis and commentary, not legal advice. Interest of Justice is not a party to the case.
