2017 INDEX
to the Information Notes

on the Court’s case-law
Index of the Court’s case-law summarised

in the Information Notes during 2017 European Court of Human Rights
The Information Note, compiled by the Court’s Case-Law Information and Publications Division, contains summaries of cases
examined during the month in question which the Registry considers as being of particular interest. The summaries are not
binding on the Court. In the provisional version the summaries are normally drafted in the language of the case concerned,
whereas the final single-language version appears in English and French respectively.
An annual index provides an overview of all the cases summarised in each calendar year. To facilitate access to materials in the
Information Notes, a running cumulative index will be updated online with each new edition of the provisional version of the Note.
The cases summarised in the Information Notes are indexed by Convention Article, keyword, applicant name and respondent
State. The Index also contains a list of cases which have been referred to or relinquished in favour of the Grand Chamber, and a list
of cases from other European and international jurisdictions summarised in the Information Notes.
The Information Note and the index may be downloaded at www.echr.coe.int/NoteInformation/en. Legal summaries published
in the Case-law Information Notes are also available in HUDOC under the filter and lilnks “Legal Summaries”.
The HUDOC database (http://hudoc.echr.coe.int) is available free-of-charge. It provides access to the case-law of the Court (Grand
Chamber, Chamber and Committee judgments and decisions, communicated cases, advisory opinions and legal summaries from
the Case-Law Information Note) and of the former European Commission of Human Rights (decisions and reports), and to the
resolutions of the Council of Europe’s Committee of Ministers.
