The European Court of Human Rights (Third Section), sitting as a chamber composed of:
The applicant designated Mr P. Leach, a solicitor practising in London, as the lawyer who would represent him (Rule 36 of the Rules of Court).
In accordance with Article 5 § 4 of Protocol No. 11, taken together with Rules 100 § 1 and 24 § 6 of the Rules of Court, a panel of the Grand Chamber of the Court decided that the case should be dealt with by a Chamber constituted within one of the Sections of the Court. Subsequently, the President of the Court, acting under Rule 52 § 1 of the Rules of Court, assigned the case to the Third Section.
The Chamber constituted within the Section included ex officio Sir Nicolas Bratza, the judge elected in respect of the United Kingdom (Article 27 § 2 of the Convention and Rule 26 § 1 (a)), and Mr. J.-P. Costa, the Vice-President of the Section (Rules 13 and 26 § 1(a)). The other members designated by the latter to complete the Chamber were Mr P. Kūris, Mrs F. Tulkens, Mr W. Fuhrmann, Mrs H.S. Greve and Mr K. Traja (Rule 26 § 1 (b)).
Subsequently Sir Nicolas Bratza, national judge, who had taken part in the Commission’s examination of the case, withdrew from sitting in the Chamber (Rule 28). The Government accordingly appointed Sir David Latham to sit as an ad hoc judge (Article 27 § 2 of the Convention and Rule 29 § 1).
