Gölcüklü,         Mr C. Russo,   and also of Mr H. Petzold, Registrar,           Having regard to the application against the Italian Republic lodged with the Court on 25 September 1995 by an Italian national, Mrs G.N., within the three-month period laid down by Article 32 para. 1 and Article 47 (art. 32-1, art. 47) of the Convention;           Whereas Italy has recognised the compulsory jurisdiction of the Court (Article 46 of the Convention) (art. 46) and ratified Protocol No. 9 (P9) to the Convention, Article 5 (P9-5) of which amends Article 48 (art. 48) of the Convention so as to enable a person, non-governmental organisation or group of individuals having lodged a complaint with the European Commission of Human Rights ("the Commission") to refer the case to the Court;           Noting that the present case has not been referred to the Court by either the Government of the respondent State or the Commission under Article 48 para. 1 (a) or (d) (art. 48-1-a, art. 48-1-d) of the Convention;           Having regard to the Commission's report of 11 April 1995 on the application (no. 22955/93) lodged with the Commission by Mrs G.N. on 20 January 1993;           Whereas the applicant complained of the length of proceedings in an Italian civil court, to which she was a party, and alleged a breach of Article 6 para. 1 (art. 6-1) of the Convention, under which "In the determination of his civil rights and obligations ..., everyone is entitled to a ... hearing within a reasonable time by [a] ... tribunal ...", and of Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 (P1-1), which guarantees every natural or legal person the right to the peaceful enjoyment of his possessions;           Whereas the applicant, in specifying the object of her application, as required by Rule 34 para. 1 (a) of Rules of Court B, stated that she sought (i) a decision by the Court holding that there had been a breach of Article 6 para. 1 (art. 6-1) of the Convention and ordering the respondent State to pay her compensation for the damage she had allegedly sustained on account of the length of the proceedings in issue as a result of the Prato District Court's decision to order further investigative measures, and (ii) a decision by the Commission on the question whether the complaint relating to Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 (P1-1) which she had apparently raised during the final stage of the proceedings before it should be referred to the Court;           Having regard to Article 48 (art. 48) of the Convention and Rule 34 paras. 1 (a), 3 and 4 of Rules of Court B,   1.       Finds that           (a) the case raises no serious question affecting the             interpretation or application of the Convention, as the             Court has already established case-law on the             "reasonable time" requirement in Article 6 para. 1             (art. 6-1) of the Convention, while the second request             is addressed to the Commission, whose decision on             admissibility and report deal only with the alleged             violation of Article 6 para. 1 (art. 6-1); and           (b) the case does not, for any other reason, warrant             consideration by the Court as, in the event of a finding             that there has been a breach of the Convention, the             Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe can             award the applicant just satisfaction, having regard to             any proposals made by the Commission;   2.       Decides, therefore, unanimously, that the case will not be         considered by the Court.           Done in English and in French, and notified in writing on 12 December 1995 pursuant to Rule 34 para. 4 of Rules of Court B.   Signed: THÓR VILHJÁLMSSON         Chairman   Signed: Herbert PETZOLD         Registrar
