INTRODUCTION

1. This Report relates to the application introduced under

Article 25 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human

Rights and Fundamental Freedoms by Mrs. T. against Austria on 10 March

1990. It was registered on 8 May 1990 under file No. 16569/90.

The Government of Austria were represented by their Agent,

Ambassador H. Türk, then Head of the International Law Department at

the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

2. On 8 January 1993 the Commission (First Chamber) declared the

application admissible. It then proceeded to carry out its task under

Article 28 para. 1 of the Convention which provides as follows:

"In the event of the Commission accepting a petition referred to

it:

a. it shall, with a view to ascertaining the facts, undertake

together with the representatives of the parties an

examination of the petition and, if need be, an

investigation, for the effective conduct of which the

States concerned shall furnish all necessary facilities,

after an exchange of views with the Commission;

b. it shall at the same time place itself at the disposal of

the parties concerned with a view to securing a friendly

settlement of the matter on the basis of respect for Human

Rights as defined in this Convention."

3. The Commission (First Chamber) found that the parties had reached

a friendly settlement of the case and on 5 July 1993 it adopted this

Report, which, in accordance with Article 28 para. 2 of the Convention,

is confined to a brief statement of the facts and of the solution

reached.

Convention about the length of proceedings which concerned her request

for a building permit in respect of a house to be built on a farm

estate. The applicant filed her request with the Mayor of the Krumbach

Municipality (Marktgemeinde) in May 1983. In September 1984 the

request was dismissed. The applicant's appeal of October 1984 was

dismissed by the Office of the Lower Austria Provincial Government

in May 1985. The applicant's further appeal was dismissed by the

Austrian Administrative Court in October 1989 (judgment served in

November 1989).
