Fresh claim for just satisfaction: claim dismissed
[This summary is extracted from the Court’s official reports (Series A or Reports of Judgments and Decisions). Its formatting and structure may therefore differ from the Case-Law Information Note summaries.]
Fresh claim for just satisfaction submitted by an applicant whom the Court had on 19 February 1991 found to be the victim of a breach of Article 6 § 1 of the Convention, while considering it unnecessary to rule additionally on the complaint based on Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 and dismissing the applicant's previous claim as matters stood
Financial consequences of
(a) an infringement of the applicant's right to the peaceful enjoyment of his possessions: could not be taken into consideration in view of the judgment of February 1991;
(b) the breach of Article 6 § 1 of the Convention (failure to try case within a "reasonable time"): the applicant had since communicated to the Court the text of a decision delivered by the relevant Italian court of appeal, which had become final on 26 September 1991, but it was not of such a nature as to call for a reconsideration of the judgment of 19 February 1991.
Conclusion: claim dismissed (eight votes to one).
