The concept of pilot judgment is elucidated in the article, distinction is made between pilot judgment, quasi-pilot judgment and other judgments, in which either the article 46 of the Convention of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms is applied or the systemic problem is elucidated.

It is concluded, that efficiency of pilot judgments for the defendant state as well as for the applicants and the potential applicants depends on cooperation between the defendant state and the Court in pilot judgment's execution. |
