The Committee of Ministers, under the terms of Article 32 (art. 32) of the

Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms

(hereinafter referred to as "the Convention"),

Having regard to Interim Resolution DH (95) 289, adopted in the case of O.

P. against Italy (Application No. 24059/94) in which the Committee of Ministers

decided that there had been a violation of Article 6, paragraph 1 (art. 6-1), of

the Convention and to make public the report of the European Commission of Human

Rights;

Whereas the Committee of Ministers examined the proposals made by the

Commission when transmitting its report as regards just satisfaction to be

awarded to the applicant, proposals supplemented by a letter of the President of

the Commission dated

27 October 1995;

Whereas, at the 576th meeting of the Deputies held on 14 June 1996, the

Committee of Ministers decided, in accordance with Article 32, paragraph 2 (art.

32-2), of the Convention, that no sum of money was to be paid to the applicant

as just satisfaction, since the latter had not submitted any claim in this

respect;

Whereas the Committee of Ministers invited the Government of Italy to

inform it of the measures taken following its decisions of 20 November 1995 and

25 June 1996, having regard to Italy's obligation under Article 32, paragraph 4

(art. 32-4), of the Convention to abide by them;

Whereas the Government of Italy recalled that measures had already been

taken to prevent the repetition of the violation found in this case, notably

through the entry into force on 30 April and 1 May 1995 of two laws

restructuring the civil courts and speeding up the proceedings in civil cases

(see Resolution DH (95) 82 in the case of Zanghì against Italy),

Declares, having taken note of the measures taken by the Government of

Italy, that it has exercised its functions under Article 32 (art. 32) of the

Convention in this case.
