Regarding the Violation of the State of Emergency Rules

• 2022-07-28

According to the decision of the Yerevan City Division of the RA Police, the petitioner was subjected to administrative liability under Part 10 of Article 182.3 of the Administrative Offenses Code of Armenia, with a fine of 10,000 AMD, for not having a movement permit during the state of emergency (the initial fine was 100,000 AMD but was later reduced).
After reviewing the evidence presented in the case, the court justifiably concluded that there was no violation by the petitioner of the isolation or self-isolation rules or any other restrictions on the right to freedom of movement imposed during the declared state of emergency.
The court also noted that the administrative body, during the administrative proceedings, had failed to fulfill its duty to properly notify the petitioner, thereby depriving them of an effective opportunity to defend and exercise their rights and interests.
Based on Article 63, Part 1 of the Law of the Republic of Armenia on the Fundamentals of Administration and Administrative Procedure, the court concluded that the petition was justified and should be granted.

Note: The decision of the RA Administrative Court in administrative case number VD/10246/05/20 has not been appealed and has entered into legal force.
