SECOND SECTION
Application no. 51893/09
Dürdane KÜÇÜK and others
against Turkey
lodged on 17 September 2009
SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE
The application concerns the substantial amount of lawyer’s fees imposed on the applicants by the domestic court as a result of a case they had brought for additional expropriation compensation.
The applicants complain of a violation of their right under Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention, arguing that the lawyer’s fees they had to pay were not proportionate to the compensation awarded to them.
QUESTIONS tO THE PARTIES
Has there been an interference with the applicants’ right to peaceful enjoyment of their possessions? In particular, did the fact that the applicants were ordered to pay lawyer’s fees to the expropriating public authority constitute an excessive burden which upset the fair balance which must be struck between the general interest of the community and the fundamental rights of the individual (see, mutatis mutandis, Perdigão v. Portugal [GC], no. 24768/06, §§ 67-78, 16 November 2010)?
