At its Human Rights meeting from 15 to 17 September, the Committee of Ministers ended its supervision of the execution of the C.A. Zrt. and T.R. group of cases. The group concerns the violation of the applicants’ property rights due to the enactment of a law which terminated ex lege and without compensation their usufruct rights over agricultural lands as of 1 May 2014 (violations of Article 1 of Protocol No. 1).
The Committee took its decision in light of the legislative changes introducing a two-tiered mechanism providing all natural and legal persons concerned as well as their successors with a compensatory mechanism and with the possibility to apply for the re-registration of their usufruct rights found to have been deleted in contravention of the Convention. The mechanism, which is also overseen by the domestic courts, provided an adequate response to the European Court’s judgment and should prevent similar violations from occurring in the future.
