Onder 3.16 Parket bij de Hoge Raad 31 maart 2017

Een alinea uit Parket bij de Hoge Raad 31 maart 2017, ECLI:NL:PHR:2017:233.

“The key principle governing the application of Article 6 is fairness. The principle of equality of arms – one of the elements of the broader concept of a fair trial – requires that each party should be afforded a reasonable opportunity to present his or her case under conditions that do not place him or her at a substantial disadvantage vis-à-vis his or her opponent (see A.B. v. Slovakia, no. 41784/98, § 55, 4 March 2003). As the Court has previously found, the principle of equality of arms would be devoid of substance if a party to the case were not notified of the hearing in such a way as to have an opportunity to attend it, should he or she decide to exercise a right to appear established in domestic law (see, mutatis mutandis, Yakovlev, cited above, § 19).”
