57A ‘tribunal established by law’ is characterised by its judicial function, that is to say determining matters within its competence on the basis of rules of law and after proceedings conducted in a prescribed manner. It must therefore, in addition to the independence and impartiality of its members, also satisfy other conditions, in particular the existence of guarantees offered by the procedure before it (see, to that effect, ECtHR, 22 June 2000, Coëme and Others v. Belgium, CE:ECHR:2000:0622JUD003249296, § 99).
