In
its
assessment
of
the
overall
fairness
of
the
proceedings
in
the
light
of
the
admissibility
of
the
evidence
,
the
Court
outlined
in
the
Grand
Chamber
judgment
in
Bykov
[
12
]
some
criteria
that
seem
to
be
decisive[13
]
.
These
include
(
a
)
whether
the
applicant
was
given
the
opportunity
of
challenging
the
authenticity
of
the
evidence
and
its
use
,
(
b
)
whether
there
exists
any
doubt
regarding
the
reliability
and
accuracy
of
the
evidence
,
taking
into
account
also
the
circumstances
in
which
it
was
obtained
,
and
(
c
)
whether
there
exists
supporting
evidence
.
Regarding
the
last
criterion
,
the
Court
emphasised
in
the
same
judgment
that
where
the
disputed
item
of
evidence
is
very
strong
and
there
is
no
risk
of
its
being
unreliable
,
the
need
for
supporting
evidence
is
correspondingly
weaker
.
