Principio della protezione equivalente fra UE e CEDU e mutuo riconoscimento delle decisioni tra Stati membri: la sentenza della Corte EDU nel caso Avotins c. Lettonia

As procedural systems of some Member States allow the claimant to obtain default judgments without examination of the merits (and, therefore, without reasoning) against non-appearing defendants, the principle of mutual recognition may entail a breach of Article 6 ECHR. In Avotins c. Latvia, the Strasbourg Court tackles with the issue in the light of the so-called Bosphorus presumption, which informs the relationship between the EU legal order and the ECHR.
