Ruling on the Right to Access to a Lawyer Directive by Dutch Court of Discipline – June 2021

16 Jun 2021 | Legal Assistance & Legal Aid, Procedural Safeguards

A ruling on the Right to Access to a Lawyer Directive (2013/48/EU) by a Dutch Court of Discipline has recently been published.

The ruling addresses the boundaries of the active participation of the defence lawyer when assisting suspects during interrogations, under Article 3(3)(b) of the Directive.

Our Board Member Gwen Jansen prepared an unofficial partial translation into English, which you may retrieve here.
