APPLICATION No. 17814/91
MORI PUDDU AGAINST ITALY
(Adopted by the Committee of Ministers on 19 March 1997
at the 585th meeting of the Ministers’ Deputies)
The Committee of Ministers, under the terms of Article 32 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (hereinafter referred to as “the Convention”),
Having regard to the report drawn up on 26 June 1996 by the European Commission of Human Rights in accordance with Article 31 of the Convention relating to the application lodged on 19 October 1990 by Ms Bruna Mori Puddu against Italy (Application No. 17814/91);
Whereas on 23 July 1996 the Commission transmitted the said report to the Committee of Ministers and whereas the case has not been referred to the European Court of Human Rights, either by the Commission or by a state entitled to do so under Article 48 of the Convention, within the time-limit of three months from the transmission of the report to the Chairman of the Committee of Ministers; considering however, that within this time-limit, the applicant seized the Court in accordance with Protocol No. 9 but that the screening panel of the Court decided on 15 January 1997 that this case would not be considered by the Court; whereas the Committee of Ministers is therefore now called upon to take a decision in accordance with Article 32 of the Convention and with Article 48 of the Convention as amended by Article 5 of Protocol No. 9 for those states having ratified the latter;
Whereas in her application, as declared admissible by the Commission on 28 June 1995, the applicant complained of the excessive length of certain administrative proceedings and a violation of the right to the peaceful enjoyment of her possessions;
Whereas in its report the Commission expressed, unanimously, the opinion that there had been a violation of Article 6, paragraph 1, of the Convention;
Whereas, at the 585th meeting of the Ministers’ Deputies, the Committee of Ministers, agreeing with the opinion expressed by the Commission, held, by decision adopted on 19 March 1997, having voted in accordance with the provisions of Article 32, paragraph 1, of the Convention, that there had been in this case a violation of Article 6, paragraph 1, of the Convention,
Authorises the publication of the report adopted by the Commission in this case;
