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 judgments of the European Court of Human Rights

in the Gillow case, delivered on 24 November 1986 and

14 September 1987 and transmitted the same days to the Committee of

Ministers;

Recalling that the case originated in an application against the

United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland lodged with the

European Commission of Human Rights on 25 January 1980 under

Article 25 (art. 25) of the convention by Mr Joseph and

Mrs Yvonne Gillow, British citizens, who made a number of complaints

concerning the operation in their case of the Guernsey Housing Laws

and in particular the restrictions placed on their right to occupy

Mrs Gillow's house in Guernsey and the proceedings that took place

there in this connection;

Recalling that the case was brought before the Court by the Commission

on 19 December 1984;

Whereas in its judgment of 24 November 1986 the Court unanimously held:

- that there had been no breach of Article 8 (art. 8) of the

convention as far as the terms of the contested legislation were

concerned;

- that there had been a breach of Article 8 (art. 8) of the

convention as far as the application of the contested legislation in

the applicants' case was concerned;

- that there had been no breach of Article 14 of the convention

taken in conjunction with Article 8 (art. 14+8);

- that there had been no breach of Article 6 (art. 6) of the

convention in respect of the complaints examined by the Court in

paragraphs 69 to 73 of its judgment, and that it was not necessary to

deal with other complaints made by the applicants under this

article (art. 6);

- that Protocols Nos. 1 and 4 (P1, P4) were not applicable to the

case;

- that the question of the application of Article 50 (art. 50) was

not ready for decision;

Whereas in its judgment of 14 September 1987 the Court unanimously:

- held that the United Kingdom was to pay to Mrs Gillow ten

thousand seven hundred and thirty-five pounds (£10 735) for damage and

two thousand one hundred and thirty-four pounds (£2 134) for costs and

expenses;

- rejected the remainder of the claim for just satisfaction;

Having regard to the "Rules concerning the application of Article 54

(art. 54) of the convention";

Having invited the Government of the United Kingdom to inform it of

the measures which had been taken in consequence of the judgments,

having regard to its obligation under Article 53 (art. 53) of the

convention to abide by them;

Having satisfied itself that the Government of the United Kingdom has

paid to Mrs Gillow the sums provided for in the judgment

of 14 September 1987,

Declares that it has exercised its functions under Article 54

(art. 54) of the convention in this case.
