ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: The extraordinary appeal that can be lodged under the provisions of Civil Procedure Code by the Prosecutor General of the Slovak Republic before the Supreme Court of the Slovak Republic raises questions of compatibility with the principle of legal certainty. In accordance with the settled case-law of the European Court of Human Rights, the only reason for quashing the final and enforceable judicial decision can be a substantial procedural irregularity. The present article concerns the assessment of compatibility of the extraordinary appeal regulated by the Civil Procedure Code with the principle of legal certainty covered by the Article 6 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.
