- Effects of a fact evidenced to the criminal/civil judgment in a subsequent civil judgment;
- Standards of evidencing – some cases of the ECtHR;
- What is the purpose of a lawsuit for damage reward and does it differ by the purpose of the criminal penalty, for a crime that is also an illicit civil fact?
- Does the rules of evidence in the civil procedure, sanction any standard that has to be achieved so that the claim of one of the parties may be considered as evidenced?
- Does the vindication from criminal charges, deprive the victim from the right to claim damage reward, based on the rules of civil procedure? Is this an arbitrary and disproportionate restriction of the right to access to the court, under the Article 6.1 of the Convention?
- Is the accepting of the civil lawsuit, in the case of the refusal of a criminal charge, a sufficient that the defendant to be “considered guilty” in opposition to the anticipation of the Article 6.2 of the Convention?
- A fact which is proved in a criminal process, should be evidenced in a civil process?
- A fact evidenced in a civil process, should be evidenced in a subsequent civil process?
What is the evolution of the standard beyond a reasonable suspicion under the ECtHR?
