FOURTH SECTION

Application no. 30856/15 Piroska Mária SZIGETINÉ VASANITS and Endre Zolt á n SZIGETI against Hungary lodged on 16 June 2015

SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE

The application concerns litigation about a land registry dispute establishing a right for the applicants. In 2008, in a final and binding court judgment it was held that, because the envisaged transaction had not materialised, the land registry entry could be removed if the applicants ’ deposit was paid back. The deposit has not been paid back ever since. Nevertheless, in a new procedure the Kúria held that the disputed entry could be removed although the original condition (the reimbursement of the deposit) was not met (service: 16 December 2014).

The applicants, relying on Articles 6 § 1 and 17 of the Convention, complain that the Kúria ’ s decision rendered nugatory a final and binding court judgment in their favour and allowed that judgment to remain inoperative to their detriment.

QUESTION tO THE PARTIES

Did the applicants have a fair hearing in the determination of their civil rights and obligations, in accordance with Article 6 § 1 of the Convention (see Turczanik v. Poland , no. 38064/97, § 48, ECHR 2005 ‑ VI) ?
