Decision in the case of G.B. and R.B. v. the Republic of Moldova
Summary
Violation of Article 8 of the European Convention of Human Rights "The only exception was the first-instance court’s judgment, according to which a higher award would have undermined the hospital’s ability to continue to operate as a public health institution. In the Court’s view, the latter argument is unacceptable, given that the State owned that hospital and was liable to cover whatever expenses it generated".
