issued by the Registrar of the Court ECHR 289 (2022) 22.09.2022 Forthcoming judgments and decisions The European Court of Human Rights will be notifying in writing two judgments on Tuesday 27 September 2022 and 94 judgments and / or decisions on Thursday 29 September 2022. Press releases and texts of the judgments and decisions will be available at 10 a.m. (local time) on the Court's Internet site (www.echr.coe.int) Tuesday 27 September 2022 Otite v. the United Kingdom (application no. 18339/19) The applicant, Junior Otite, is a Nigerian national, who was born in 1972 and lives in Orpington (United Kingdom), having entered the UK in 2003 as the spouse of a settled person. His wife, also of Nigerian origin, was born in the UK and is a British citizen, as are their three children. In September 2004 Mr Otite was granted Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK. However, in May 2013 an application for naturalisation as a British citizen was refused on account of his having a criminal record since 2007 for tendering a false statement. The case concerns his being served, in October 2015, with notice of his liability to deportation after a conviction the previous year on two counts of conspiracy to make or supply articles for use in fraud which had resulted in a four-year-and-eight-month prison sentence. His appeal against deportation was dismissed as the Upper Tribunal concluded that the effect on his partner and children would not be "unduly harsh". The applicant complains that his expulsion would breach his right to respect for his private and family life as provided for by Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights, and that the decision of the Upper Tribunal fell short of the balancing exercise required by the case-law of the Court. Thursday 29 September 2022 Nstase v. Romania (nos. 46/15 and 744/15) The applicants, Daniela Nstase and Adrian Nstase are Romanian nationals who were born in 1955 and 1950 respectively and live in Bucharest. Mr Nstase, a former professor at the Faculty of Law of Bucharest University and a former lawyer at the Bar of Bucharest, is a politician who has served as Minister of Foreign Affairs, Prime Minister, President of the Social Democrat Party and member of the Chamber of Deputies. Daniela Nstase is his wife. The case concerns criminal proceedings against Daniela Nstase and Adrian Nstase, who were accused of illegally importing to Romania, between 2002 and 2004, property acquired in China on their own account, through the intermediary of high-ranking officials in the government at the time it was led by the second applicant. Relying on Article 6 � 1 (right to a fair trial) of the European Convention, the applicants argue that the five-judge Chamber of the High Court was not a "tribunal established by law". They claim that the Chamber, which examined their appeal, was not impartial. They then complain about a lack of fairness in the proceedings before the five-judge Chamber of the High Court, arguing that the appellate court sentenced them after they had been acquitted on the merits, without directly examining most of the evidence that was relied upon in its decision. The second applicant also criticises the alleged recourse, in his view without specific safeguards, to an agent provocateur in the person of the witness O.C. He also submits that the time taken for the drafting of the judgment of 6 January 2014 was unreasonable. The Court will give its rulings in writing on the following cases, some of which concern issues which have already been submitted to the Court, including excessive length of proceedings. These rulings can be consulted from the day of their delivery on the Court's online database HUDOC. They will not appear in the press release issued on that day.
