The Committee of Ministers, under the terms of Article 32

(art. 32) of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and

Fundamental Freedoms (hereinafter referred to as "the Convention"),

Having regard to the report drawn up by the European

Commission of Human Rights in accordance with Article 31 (art. 31)

of the Convention relating to the application lodged on

17 January 1990 by Mr Eugenio Bandinu against Italy

(Application No. 16478/90);

Whereas on 3 December 1992 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 of

Article 48 (art. 48) of the Convention;

Whereas in his application, declared admissible by the

Commission on 13 May 1992, the applicant complained of the

excessive length of certain civil proceedings;

Whereas in its report adopted on 14 October 1992 the

Commission expressed, by eight votes to two the opinion that there

had been a violation of Article 6, paragraph 1 (art. 6-1), of the

Convention;

Whereas, at the 491st meeting of the Ministers' Deputies held

on 1 April 1993, 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;

Whereas the Committee of Ministers examined the proposals made

by the Commission when transmitting its report as regards just

satisfaction to be awarded to the applicant's heir pursuing the

proceedings, proposals supplemented by a letter of the President of

the Commission dated 15 April 1994;

Whereas, at the 536th meeting of the Deputies held on

5 May 1995, the Committee of Ministers decided, in accordance with

Article 32, paragraph 2 (art. 32-2), of the Convention, that the

Government of Italy was to pay the applicant's heir as just

satisfaction, within three months, 500 000 Italian lire in respect

of non-pecuniary damage and 500 000 Italian lire in respect of

costs and expenses, namely a total sum of 1 000 000 Italian lire;

Whereas the Committee of Ministers invited the Government of

Italy to inform it of the measures taken following its decisions of

1 April 1993 and 5 May 1995, 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, notably through the entry into force on 30 April and

1 May 1995 of two laws restructuring the civil courts and speeding

up the proceedings in civil cases (see Resolution DH (95) 82 in the

case of Zanghì against Italy);

Whereas the Committee of Ministers satisfied itself that on

18 September 1995, the Government of Italy paid the applicant's

heir the total sum of 1 000 000 Italian lire as just satisfaction,

Declares, having taken note of the measures taken by the

Government of Italy, that it has exercised its functions under

Article 32 (art. 32) of the Convention in this case;

Authorises the publication of the report adopted by the

Commission in this case.
