SECOND SECTION
Application no. 54165/15
S.C. DICMEN S.R.L.
against the Republic of Moldova
lodged on 21 October 2015
communicated on 25 March 2022
SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE
The application concerns a civil law dispute between the applicant company and a third company concerning the right over a part of a building. The Supreme Court upheld an allegedly time-barred action lodged by the third company. As a result of the outcome of those proceedings, the applicant eventually lost its rights over the disputed assets. The applicant complains under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention that the proceedings in question were not fair and that, as a result, its rights under Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 were also breached.
QUESTIONS TO THE PARTIES
1. Did the applicant have a fair hearing in the determination of its civil rights and obligations, in accordance with Article 6 § 1 of the Convention (see Grafescolo S.R.L. v. the Republic of Moldova, no. 36157/08, §§ 23-24, 22 July 2014)?
2. Has there been a breach of the applicant’s right to peaceful enjoyment of possessions, within the meaning of Article 1 of Protocol No. 1?
