Tbilisi. On April 4, 2017, the Grand Chamber of the Supreme Court of Georgia released the full version of its judgment in the case of Rustavi 2. This time, GYLA will provide the public the legal assessment of the substance of the decision.

''The GYLA believes that such unequivocal assessment of this issue is unjustified. Failure to submit a response or submission of unqualified rescission by one concrete respondent in joinder of parties does not free the claimant from the burden of proof, and the court should not automatically consider all factual circumstances indicated by the claimant as established. Even if a respondent fails to submit a qualified rescission, the court should assess the extent to which the evidence submitted by the claimant is sufficient to establish the factual circumstances indicated by the latter, in addition to assessing the legal norms regulating the disputed relationship'', is noted in the statement.
