Which case addresses whether inadmissible evidence should be used and what article may be violated?

• A. Schatschaschwili
• B. Tom v State
• C. Prade v Germany
• D. Basia v Police

Answer: (C)

Admissibility of evidence and the safeguards for fair trial rights. Prade v Germany deals with whether evidence obtained in a way that violates a defendant’s rights can be used at trial, and how that touches on Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which protects the right to a fair trial. The case reinforces the principle that admitting and relying on inadmissible evidence undermines the fairness of proceedings, so courts must consider excluding such evidence to preserve a fair process. This is the best fit because it directly links the issue of using inadmissible evidence to a potential violation of the rights protected by Article 6.

The other cases listed don’t center on the same issue as clearly. They may touch on criminal procedure or rights in different contexts, but Prade v Germany is the one that directly addresses the admissibility question and the related article.
