Spivak v Ukraine 21180/15 [2025] ECHR 136

Conditions and review of detention Breaches of Article 3 and Article 5 arising from psychiatric detention. This extract shows how much better oral hearings in hospital are in principle compared with court or paper-based hearings held elsewhere: "The applicant did not attend any of the court hearings; each time he signed a pre-typed request for the case to be considered in his absence. According to him, he - like other patients - had been forbidden by the Dnipro hospital administration to attend the court hearings and had been forced to sign waivers of his right to participate."
