Naumenko and SIA Rix Shipping v. Latvia (application no. 50805/14)
The applicants are SIA RIX Shipping, a limited liability company based in Latvia, and its owner,
Andrey Naumenko, a Russian national who was born in 1973 and lives in Riga.
The case concerns a dawn raid on 28 January 2014 on the applicant company’s business premises
and the seizure of large amounts of documents and electronic files. A judge of the Riga City Vidzeme
District Court had granted the request to carry out the unannounced operation in the context of an
investigation into the National Association of Latvian Shipbrokers and Shipping Agents (“the NALSA”)
on suspicion of an infringement of competition law. The Competition Authority subsequently fined
the NALSA for setting a minimum or fixed price for its members for services rendered by shipping
agents.
Relying on Article 8 (right to respect for home and correspondence) of the European Convention on
Human Rights, the applicants allege that the search and seizure was unlawful and disproportionate
and that procedural safeguards in place were insufficient.
No violation of Article 8 in respect of the second applicant
The Court declared the remainder of the application inadmissible.
Alleleh and Others v. Norway (no. 569/20)
The applicants, Neima Aden Alleleh, a Djiboutian national, Rolf Erik Kristensen, a Norwegian
national, and their four children who are Norwegian citizens were born in 1983, 1967, 2005, 2009
and 2013 respectively. They live in Oslo.

Under Articles 43 and 44 of the Convention, Chamber judgments are not final. During the three-month period following a judgment’s
delivery, any party may request that the case be referred to the Grand Chamber of the Court. If such a request is made, a panel of five
judges considers whether the case deserves further examination. In that event, the Grand Chamber will hear the case and deliver a final
judgment. If the referral request is refused, the Chamber judgment will become final on that day. Under Article 28 of the Convention,
judgments delivered by a Committee are final.
Once a judgment becomes final, it is transmitted to the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe for supervision of its execution.
