SECOND SECTION
Application no. 9071/22
Mustafa IŞIK
against Türkiye
lodged on 4 February 2022
communicated on 24 November 2023
SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE
The application concerns the depreciation of the compensation awarded to the applicant by the domestic courts.
The administration decided to expropriate the applicant’s plot of land for the construction of a dam and applied to the relevant first-instance courts to set the amount of the compensation award and to transfer the ownership of the plot of land.
The applicant complains under Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention that he suffered a financial loss as the compensation he was awarded by the domestic courts was depreciated due to the monetary inflation during the relevant period.
QUESTION TO THE PARTIES
Has there been a violation of the applicant’s right to peaceful enjoyment of his possessions, within the meaning of Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention, due to the depreciation of the compensation awarded to him (see Aka v. Turkey, 23 September 1998, §§ 41-50, Reports of Judgments and Decisions 1998-VI, and Yetiş and Others v. Turkey, no. 40349/05, §§ 43 et suiv., 6 July 2010)?
The parties are invited to provide the Court with copies of all the relevant documents showing the total amount of payment made to the applicant, as well as the total amount of the interest paid and the calculation method of the latter.
