_______________

Sitting in private at Strasbourg on 27 September 1996, and

composed of the following judges:

Mr R. Macdonald, Chairman,

Mr C. Russo,

Mr A. Spielmann,

and also of Mr H. Petzold, Registrar,

Having regard to the application against the Italian Republic

lodged with the Court on 21 August 1996 by an Italian national,

Mr Mario Bogliolo, 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 16 April 1996 on the

application (no. 27181/95) lodged with the Commission by Mr Bogliolo

on 22 August 1994;

Whereas the applicant complained of the length of two sets of

proceedings in the Italian civil courts, to which he is 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 ...";

Whereas the applicant, in specifying the object of his

application, as required by Rule 34 para. 1 (a) of Rules of Court B,

stated in conclusion that he sought 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 him compensation

for the pecuniary and non-pecuniary damage he had allegedly sustained

on account of the length of the proceedings in issue;

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; 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

21 October 1996 pursuant to Rule 34 para. 4 of Rules of Court B.
