The applicant was the wife of an alcoholic and violent husband. Irish law allowed recourse to the High Court for obtaining a legal separation, but the proceedings were complex and the applicant was unable to obtain a lawyer willing to act for her, as she could not afford the legal costs and legal aid was not available. The ECtHR found a violation of the ECHR, art 6(1), as she had been effectively denied access to a court for the determination of her civil rights.
