On March 2003, she applied to the municipal social security authorities for a grant to cover certain dental care costs. The municipal director of social security turned down her request on the ground that Mrs Radeva had already been given a social security grant to cover her heating costs. Mrs Radeva took the case to court. The administrative panel of the Sofia Court declared her application inadmissible for being out of time. Relying on Article 6 (right to a fair hearing) Mrs Radeva alleged that the merits of her appeal against the decision of the regional director of social security had not been examined in so far as the courts had erroneously calculated the statutory timelimit for lodging an appeal and rejected it as inadmissible. Violation of Article 6 (access to court) Just satisfaction: 800 euros (EUR) (costs and expenses) 1 Under Articles 43 and 44 of the Convention, Chamber judgments are not final. During the three-month period following a judgment s delivery, any party may request that the case be referred to the Grand Chamber of the Court. If such a request is made, a panel of five judges considers whether the case deserves further examination. In that event, the Grand Chamber will hear the case and deliver a final judgment. If the referral request is refused, the Chamber judgment will become final on that day. Under Article 28 of the Convention, judgments delivered by a Committee are final. Once a judgment becomes final, it is transmitted to the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe for supervision of its execution.
