Strasbourg Court Rules That Actions of National Courts and the National Bureau of Enforcement in Jashi v. Georgia Complied with the European Convention

The European Court of Human Rights has delivered its judgment in the case Jashi v. Georgia, fully endorsing the legal position of the Ministry of Justice and declaring the applicant’s complaints inadmissible as manifestly ill-founded.

The case concerned events that occurred between 2016 and 2021 and stemmed from a complaint lodged by Ketevan Jashi, a university professor who had been dismissed from her position. The applicant alleged that a domestic court decision in her favor, ordering her reinstatement to her previous post, had not been enforced at the national level.

Having examined the circumstances of the case, the Strasbourg Court unequivocally confirmed that the national courts and the National Bureau of Enforcement acted with due diligence and took all necessary measures to ensure the enforcement of the final judgment. The Court also noted that, during the enforcement process, the applicant was offered a reasonable alternative solution, which she declined.

Today’s judgment of the Strasbourg Court confirms that the proceedings conducted by the national courts and the National Bureau of Enforcement were fully in line with the requirements and standards of the European Convention on Human Rights.
