European Court of Human Rights decided to refer the case H. v. Finlandto the Grand Chamber of the Court, in order to conduct a retrial.
The application was rejected by the Court unanimously. The Section case H. v. Finland has applied the jurisprudence emerging from the case law Schalk and Kopf v. Austria (No. 30141/04) and Goodwin v. United Kingdom (No. 28957/95) and which, moreover, has been unanimously adopted. It is surprising that the case was referred to the Grand Chamber.
The decision of a referral is less surprising when considered from a non-legal point of view.
