Case 360_30
360_30 accessibility
30. The expressions “prescribed by law” and “in accordance with the law”
in Articles 8 to 11 of the Convention not only require that the impugned
measure should have some basis in domestic law, but also refer to the quality
of the law in question. The law should be accessible to those concerned and
formulated with sufficient precision to enable them – if need be, with
appropriate advice – to foresee, to a degree that is reasonable in the
circumstances, the consequences which a given action may entail. Also, the
law must be sufficiently clear in its terms to give individuals an adequate
indication as to the circumstances in which and the conditions on which
public authorities are entitled to interfere with the rights guaranteed by the
Convention (see, among other authorities, Lashmankin and Others v. Russia,
nos. 57818/09 and 14 others, §§ 410-11, 7 February 2017).CHEREMSKYY v. UKRAINE JUDGMENT
