Poland   28 April 2008   The European Court of Human Rights will be notifying in writing a Grand Chamber judgment in the pilot case, Hutten-Czapska v. Poland (application no. 35014/97), on Monday 28 April 2008, which deals with the question of pecuniary damage, under Article 41 (just satisfaction) of the European Convention on Human Rights.   In its principal judgment in the case (19 June 2006) the Grand Chamber held that there had been a violation of Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 (protection of property) to the Convention concerning the fact that the applicant could not use her property or charge adequate rent for its lease. The Grand Chamber found that the violation was part of a systemic problem, the malfunctioning of Polish housing legislation. It further called on Poland to find a remedy at national level which would allow homeowners to make a profit from their property while also ensuring the availability of accommodation for the less well-off.   A press release and the text of the judgment will be available at 2 p.m. (local time) on the Court’s Internet site ( http://www.echr.coe.int ).     ***   Press contacts Emma Hellyer (telephone: 00 33 (0)3 90 21 42 15) Tracey Turner-Tretz (telephone: 00 33 (0)3 88 41 35 30) Paramy Chanthalangsy (telephone: 00 33 (0)3 90 21 54 91) Sania Ivedi (telephone: 00 33 (0)3 90 21 59 45)   The European Court of Human Rights was set up in Strasbourg by the Council of Europe Member States in 1959 to deal with alleged violations of the 1950 European Convention on Human Rights.
