3 The minority disputes that characterization, citing the “flagrant inconsistency within the same branch of the court system,” referring to the Administrative Court (emphasis in original). Different chambers of the Administrative Court reached opposite conclusions on whether that court had jurisdiction to consider the various family members’ claims.

4 For arguably the opposite boundary of the European Court’s consideration of military processes, see Al Skeini v. United Kingdom, App. No. 55721/07 (Eur. Ct. H.R. July 7, 2011) (holding that British military investigations of the deaths of Iraqis killed by British troops did not comply with Article 2 of the Convention).
