Ukraine [GC], no. 76639/11, §§ 95-134, 25 September 2018)? If so, has there been an interference with the applicant’s right to respect for her private life as a result of the discontinuation of the vetting proceedings and the imposition of a fifteen ‑ year ban on being re-appointed to any posts in the justice system? 2.     If so, was that interference in accordance with the law and necessary in terms of Article   8 §   2 (see   Xhoxhaj v. Albania , no. 15227/19, §§ 358-414, 9 February 2021)?
