issued by the Registrar of the Court ECHR 101 (2023) 05.04.2023 Forthcoming judgments and decisions The European Court of Human Rights will be notifying in writing three judgments on Tuesday 11 April 2023 and 70 judgments and / or decisions on Thursday 13 April 2023. 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 11 April 2023 Simonova v. Bulgaria (application no. 30782/16) The applicant, Veska Atanasova Simonova, is a Bulgarian national who was born in 1972 and lives in Kuklen (Bulgaria). The case concerns the demolition of an illegally erected building, which was allegedly the only place she and her children had to live in. The building had no electrical or water-supply and no sewage facilities. When having it built, the applicant had declared that it would be used for agricultural purposes. She had obtained a permit, but it was later found that it had been partly built on land that did not belong to her, that no papers had been drawn up to certify its conformity with the building regulations, and that she was using it for residential purposes, in breach of the planning legislation. The applicant complains that the order for the demolition of the building in which she and her children lived went against her right to respect for her home, in breach of Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights. T.H. v. Bulgaria (no. 46519/20) The applicant, Mr T.H., is a Bulgarian national, who was born in 2004 and lives in Sofia. In 2012 Mr T.H., who had behavioural difficulties, was diagnosed with a hyperkinetic disorder and a "specific developmental disorder of scholastic skills". The case concerns his allegation that he was discriminated against in his first two years of primary school by his teachers and head teacher on account of his disability. He interrupted his schooling there in the second term of his second year and completed his primary education in another mainstream school. Relying on Article 14 (prohibition of discrimination) of the European Convention, the applicant alleges that the staff in his first primary school harassed him and treated him in the same way as pupils without a disability because they assumed that his behaviour was due to lack of proper parenting. He complains that, as a result, the school failed to adapt his schooling to his special educational needs. Loukili v. the Netherlands (no. 57766/19) The applicant, Farid Loukili, is a Moroccan national who was born in 1978 and lives in Rotterdam (the Netherlands). His family moved to the Netherlands in 1981, and he lived there from then on, obtaining a permanent residence permit in 2001. He has two children of Dutch nationality. The case concerns the revocation of his residence permit, a return decision and a 10-year ban on him re-entering the country following several convictions for drug trafficking, possession of cocaine and heroin, assault, intentional and unlawful destruction of property, and intentional handling of stolen goods. Relying on Article 8 (right to family life) of the Convention, the applicant complains that the decisions to revoke his residence permit and to impose an entry ban on him were disproportionate, and interfered unjustifiably with his family life. He holds that the national courts did not sufficiently take into account his and his children's interests. Thursday 13 April 2023 J�rov� and Others v. the Czech Republic (no. 66015/17) The applicants, V. J�rov�, M. J�ra and V. Bl�ha, are Czech nationals who were born in 1958, 1958 and 1998 respectively and live in Hodkovice and Mohelkou (the Czech Republic). The case concerns a court-ordered prohibition on contact between Ms J�rov� and Mr J�ra and their former foster child, Mr Bl�ha. The order took place following Mr Bl�ha's placement in institutional care owing to questions over the quality of foster care he was receiving. Relying on Article 8 (right to protection for private and family life) and Article 6 (right to a fair trial), they complain of the prohibition on contact, and that they did not have a reasonable opportunity to submit certain claims before the national courts. E.K. v. Latvia (no. 25942/20) The applicant, Mr E.K., is a Latvian national who was born in 1983 and lives in Saldus County (Latvia). The case concerns the applicant's complaint about non-enforcement of a judgment granting him contact rights with his daughter, born in 2013. He and the child's mother separated in 2016. The courts dissolved the marriage in 2018 and determined his contact rights, which, according to him, have however been extremely limited due to obstruction by the mother. Relying on Article 8 (right to respect for private and family life), the applicant complains that the Latvian authorities have not helped him to enforce his contact rights with his daughter, in the face of the mother's opposition. He alleges that in 2017 he had an excellent relationship with his daughter, but that over time her opinion has changed owing to the mother's influence. Mayboroda v. Ukraine (no. 14709/07) The applicant, Lyudmyla Ivanivna Mayboroda, was a Ukrainian national who was born in 1952 and lived in Svalyava (Ukraine). She died in 2016 while the proceedings before the European Court were still ongoing. The case concerns the applicant's allegation that her kidney was removed without her consent or even knowledge during emergency surgery for internal bleeding in March 2000. The intervention was carried out in Lviv Regional Clinical Hospital, a public hospital. She found out a few months later via an anonymous telephone call that her left kidney "had been stolen". An official investigation concluded that the kidney had been removed to save her life, while a civil action she brought resulted in her being awarded damages against her consulting physician. Relying on Article 8 (right to respect for private life), Ms Mayboroda complains of a failure to protect her right to informed consent about the removal of her kidney and of the physicians' concealing this information from her in the post-operative period. 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. Thursday 13 April 2023 Name Hovhannisyan v. Armenia Abulov and Others v. Azerbaijan Hasanov and Others v.
