Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the prohibition on using the professional/business designation 'Notar/Notariat' constitutes a civil dispute under Art. 6(1) ECHR.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The dispute concerns only the use of a professional designation, not the substance of K.'s freedom to pursue his profession; it therefore does not amount to a civil right within Art. 6(1) ECHR.
Extrahierte Begründung
K. did not seek a notary patent or authorization to practice notarial acts. He remained free to act as an advocate. The measure affected only the title used, not the essence of professional freedom; unlike cases involving denial or withdrawal of a professional license, this is not a protected civil dispute.
