In December 2020, the Committee of Ministers ended the supervision of the execution of the ECHR judgment in Zelčs. The case concerned the applicant’s administrative detention in a police car with a view to drawing up an administrative-offence report on drink-driving, a procedure regulated by a law which was not sufficiently foreseeable.
In response to this judgment, in November 2018, Parliament adopted a new Law on Administrative Liability, which reduced and clearly defined the grounds for administrative detention. In addition, the Supreme Court developed its case-law clarifying the application of administrative detention.
