The hearing in the case of Yukos versus Russia, initially scheduled for January 14, 2010 has been adjourned until March 4, 2010 due to the unavailability of both Russia's ad hoc judge, Andrei Bushev, and its representative government agent, Georgy Matyushkin.

This is the latest in a string of tactics aimed at delaying the ruling. Bushev is the fifth judge appointed by Russia for the case. In November last year the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) postponed the hearings to give Bushev more time to familiarise himself with the file.
