Cases

Fedchenko v Russia (No 2)

Comment

Along similar lines to the recent ECHR decision in Kubaszewski v Poland, this decision extends the "greater degree of tolerance" that politicians are required to display to civil servants. There is presently no such requirement as a matter of English law and to that extent there is scope for argument that domestic law is at odds with the ECHR jurisprudence.
