FIRST SECTION
Application no. 7090/12
Georgia PETROPOULAKOU and others
against Greece
lodged on 30 December 2011
SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE
The application concerns the failure of the domestic authorities to comply with decision no. 2090/2009 of the Piraeus Administrative Court of Appeal.
On 29 May 2006 the applicants requested from the town-planning authority of Cyclades the annulment of building permits no. 610/1988 and 527/1993 and of parcelling act no. 463/1987. They invoked as reason that the contested acts had been based on a prefect’s decision which had already been found unconstitutional by the Supreme Administrative Court. Following the town-planning authority’s refusal to revoke the above-mentioned acts, the applicants lodged an application for annulment with the Piraeus Administrative Court of Appeal. The domestic court by its decision no. 2090/2009 held that the town-planning authority of Cyclades was obliged to review again the legality of the contested acts and quash them, unless there were compelling reasons not to.
The applicants complain under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention that until the date they lodged their application with the Court, the above-mentioned decision had not yet been executed.
QUESTION tO THE PARTIES
Were the applicant denied the right of access to a court guaranteed by Article 6 § 1 of the Convention, having regard to the fact that the decision no. 2090/2009 of the Piraeus Administrative Court of Appeal had not yet been executed on the date of introduction of the present application to the Court?
