    OFFICIAL SHOULD PAY THE FINE
    Arman Galoyan

    Story from Lragir.am News:

    Former judge Pargev Ohanyan, Candidate of Sciences in Law, thinks
    those officials whose actions caused the given situation must pay
    the compensations ruled by the European Court of Human Rights

    In terms of legal relations, a citizen applies against the state and
    not against the judges who dealt with their case. Consequently, the
    state is to pay the compensation. But there are "regressive suits"
    when the state can confiscate the money for the compensation from the
    officials whose actions caused this situation and the state was harmed
    as a result. For example, if the trolleybus runs over a citizen, the
    citizen does not sue the driver but the trolley pool which pays the
    compensation and then receives the money through a regressive suit
    from the driver.

    Is it possible to apply the regressive suit in Armenia?

    If the mechanism were used against judges, it would make them vigilant
    and make punishment unavoidable, which is not there now. Especially
    if an official is not sure they will receive privileges in return
    for certain services.
