Having regard to the report drawn up on 17 May 1994 by the European
Commission of Human Rights in accordance with Article 31 (art. 31) of the
Convention relating to the application lodged on 4 March 1991 by Mr T. P.
against Italy (Application No. 18398/91);
Whereas on 29 June 1994 the Commission transmitted the said report to the
Committee of Ministers and whereas the period of three months provided for in
Article 32, paragraph 1 (art. 32-1), of the Convention has elapsed without the
case having been brought before the European Court of Human Rights in pursuance

Whereas in his application, declared admissible by the Commission on 8
March 1994, the applicant complained of the excessive length of certain civil
proceedings before the Court of Audit;
Whereas in its report the Commission expressed, unanimously, the opinion
that there had been a violation of Article 6, paragraph 1 (art. 6-1), of the
Convention;
Whereas, at the 519th meeting of the Ministers' Deputies held on 20
October 1994, the Committee of Ministers, agreeing with the opinion expressed by
the Commission, held, having voted in accordance with the provisions of Article
32, paragraph 1
(art. 32-1), of the Convention, that there had been in this case a violation of
Article 6, paragraph 1 (art. 6-1), of the Convention;

14 June 1996, the Committee of Ministers decided, in accordance with Article 32,
paragraph 2 (art. 32-2), of the Convention, that no sum of money was to be paid

claim in this respect;
Whereas the Committee of Ministers invited the Government of Italy to
inform it of the measures taken following its decisions of 20 October 1994 and
25 June 1996, having regard to Italy's obligation under Article 32, paragraph 4
(art. 32-4), of the Convention to abide by them;
Whereas the Government of Italy recalled that measures had already been
taken to prevent the repetition of the violation found in this case, by a
legislative decree of 15 November 1993
(No. 453), converted into parliamentary legislation by Act No. 19 of January
1994 (see Resolution DH (94) 25 in the case

Italy, that it has exercised its functions under Article 32 (art. 32) of the
