Supreme Court rejects Christoforos Tornaritis's application regarding foreign legal documents

On March 30, 2026, the Supreme Court rejected an application filed by Christoforos Tornaritis. The applicant sought a Certiorari order to invalidate a certificate of service for foreign legal documents dating back to June 14, 2007. These documents related to a Greek court ruling that imposed duties on the applicant in favor of the Greek state. Tornaritis argued that the service of these documents was illegal because it was not performed personally on him, as required by the law regarding foreign courts. He claimed that he never received notice of the documents, thereby violating his right to a fair trial under the Constitution and the European Convention on Human Rights. Furthermore, he contested the validity of the receipt by the Supreme Court registry, stating he did not know the official who accepted the service. The court's decision effectively maintains the validity of the original service procedure.
