Cited paragraphs only



     The Committee of Ministers, under the terms of Article 54

(art. 54) of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and

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

     Having regard to the judgment of the European Court of Human

Rights in the case of Vocaturo delivered on 24 May 1991 and

transmitted the same day to the Committee of Ministers;

     Recalling that the case originated in an application

(No. 11891/85) against Italy lodged with the European Commission of

Human Rights on 20 September 1985 under Article 25 (art. 25) of the

Convention by Mr Nicola Vocaturo, an Italian national, and that the

Commission declared admissible the complaint of the excessive

length of certain civil proceedings;

     Recalling that the case was brought before the Court by the

Commission on 21 May 1990;

     Whereas in its judgment of 24 May 1991 the Court unanimously:

     - held that there had been a violation of Article 6,

paragraph 1 (art. 6-1), of the Convention;

     - held that the Government of Italy was to pay Mrs Vocaturo

10 500 000 Italian lire in respect of damage and 3 000 000 Italian

lire in respect of costs and expenses;

     - dismissed the remainder of the claim for just satisfaction;

     Having regard to the Rules adopted by the Committee of

Ministers concerning the application of Article 54 (art. 54) of the

Convention;

     Having invited the Government of Italy to inform it of the

measures which had been taken in consequence of the judgment of

24 May 1991, having regard to Italy's obligation under Article 53

(art. 53) of the Convention to abide by it;

     Whereas the Government of Italy recalled that measures had

already been taken to prevent the repetition of the violation found

in this case, through the entry into force on 30 April and

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

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

Zanghì against Italy);

     Having satisfied itself that on 5 February 1992 the Government

of Italy paid Mrs Vocaturo the sums provided for in the judgment of

24 May 1991,

     Declares, after having taken note of the information supplied

by the Government of Italy, that it has exercised its functions

under Article 54 (art. 54) of the Convention in this case.
