E. Misiūnas has approached the Lithuanian Supreme Court to revive his case against President Gitanas Nausėda, claiming that the President’s decision not to appoint him as a judge was unjustified. Misiūnas is asking the court to compel the President to proceed with the appointment and to award him compensation for material and non-material damages. Earlier, lower courts had dismissed his claims citing that some of his requests were non-justiciable, while others had formal flaws that he did not rectify in time.

In a related development, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) ruled on October 7, 2025, in the case of Misiūnas v. Lithuania, establishing that Lithuania had violated the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. As a result, the court ordered Lithuania to pay Misiūnas €10,000 for non-material damages, acknowledging that he had been deprived of his right to an effective review of the President's exercise of discretion due to the lower courts’ refusals to hear his case.

Based on the ECHR's judgment, Misiūnas has submitted a request to renew the civil proceedings. This case highlights the ongoing debates about judicial recourse and executive discretion in Lithuania and raises questions about the safeguarding of individual rights in the face of administrative decisions. The implications of the ECHR ruling may prompt further scrutiny of the interactions between the judiciary and the executive branch in Lithuania, particularly in cases involving judicial appointments.
