On the applicants’ request, the Personal Data Protection Agency held that the video recording was not in accordance with the Personal Data Protection Act and imposed a fine of EUR 250 on the first applicant’s father. Subsequently, three court levels dismissed the applicants’ claim for compensation of non-pecuniary loss allegedly sustained from the video-surveillance holding that, inter alia , the applicants could not expect privacy in the courtyard, which was in joint ownership with the defendants. QUESTION TO THE PARTIES 1.     Have the State authorities complied with their positive obligation to protect the applicants’ right to respect for their private life as guaranteed by Article 8 of the Convention?

Spain [GC], nos. 1874/13 and 8567/13, § 111, 17 October 2019)   APPENDIX No. Applicant’s Name Year of birth/registration Nationality Place of residence 1.
