TRANSPARENCYINTERNATIONAL
the global coalition against corruption
When Neven* was sacked rom his job, he hoped that hisclaim or unair dismissal would be processed quickly and
airly. Instead, the court proceedings dragged on without
an outcome or 11 years, putting Neven under great
personal and fnancial strain.
Neven fnally contacted Transparency International (TI)
Croatia, explaining that he couldn’t aord a lawyer and
wasn’t entitled to ree legal aid under Croatian law. His
ormer employers could drag out the court proceedings
or years because Neven lacked the legal expertise to
represent himsel properly.
TI Croatia provided Neven with ree legal advice, andhelped him make an appeal or his case to be ast
tracked on the grounds that the process had been
unnecessarily lengthy. Soon ater, Neven was inormed by
the county court that his case had been reclassifed as a
priority case. Within a month, his appeal was heard and
Neven won the case against his ormer employers.
As well as securing justice and compensation or Neven,
TI Croatia created a public debate about the oten
excessive duration o minor court cases in Croatia, which
results rom high lawyer ees and narrow eligibility criteria
or receiving ree legal aid. Neven’s experience is not
an isolated case and highlights the urgency or much
needed improvement in the country’s judicial system. TI
Croatia continues to push or a air and expedient legal
system, as well as providing legal advice to those who
struggle to receive justice.
*Names have been changed.
This case is one o thousands processed by TransparencyInternational’s Advocacy and Legal Advice Centres. The centres,now in more than 40 countries, provide ree assistance to victims andwitnesses o corruption, helping them to pursue their complaints.
