The Committee of Ministers, under the terms of Article 46, paragraph 2, of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, which provides that the Committee supervises the execution of final judgments of the European Court of Human Rights (hereinafter “the Convention” and “the Court”,
Having regard to the final judgment transmitted by the Court to the Committee in this case and to the violation of Article 6, paragraph 1, of the Convention established due to the excessive length of civil proceedings, for which the applicant had not received sufficient compensation at domestic level;
Recalling the respondent State’s obligation, under Article 46, paragraph 1, of the Convention, to abide by all final judgments in cases to which it has been a party and that this obligation entails, over and above the payment of any sums awarded by the Court, the adoption by the authorities of the respondent State, where required:
- of individual measures to put an end to violations established and erase their consequences so as to achieve as far as possible restitutio in integrum; and
- of general measures preventing similar violations;
Having invited the government of the respondent State to inform the Committee of the measures taken to comply with the above-mentioned obligation;
Noting that the proceedings at issue had been terminated at the time the Court gave the judgment and that the just satisfaction awarded by the Court for non-pecuniary damage and costs and expenses has been paid to the applicant and considering that the question of individual measures has therefore been resolved;
Recalling that the measures required to guarantee non-repetition of the violation of Article 6, paragraph 1, of the Convention established in this case were examined in the context of the Giuseppe Mostacciuolo (No. 1) group of cases (see Final Resolution CM/ResDH(2015)155);
Having satisfied itself that all the measures required by Article 46, paragraph 1, have been adopted,
