Case No. 60596\/09
\n<\/a>Date of decision: 11 December 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n

On 11 December 2012, the European\u00a0Court of Human Rights accepted\u00a0the terms of a friendly settlement between\u00a0the applicants, Maya and Giorgi Okroshidze,\u00a0and the Georgian Government in the case of\u00a0Okroshidze v Georgia. The Georgian Government\u00a0acknowledged that its domestic law had\u00a0prevented the applicants (mother and child)\u00a0from fully enjoying their rights under Article 8\u00a0of the European Convention on Human Rights\u00a0(ECHR), as it had denied them the opportunity\u00a0to rely on the results of a positive DNA test\u00a0between the child and father to claim child\u00a0maintenance. As well as paying the applicants\u00a0damages, the Government agreed that the\u00a0applicants were entitled to apply to reopen\u00a0their claim in the domestic courts in order to\u00a0establish paternity on the basis of the DNA\u00a0test, and to claim child maintenance from\u00a0the date they first initiated their claim in the
\ndomestic courts.<\/p>\n
