DISSENTING OPINION OF MM. M. PELLONPÄÄ AND N. BRATZA
We are unable to share the view of the majority of the Commission
that there has been a violation of Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 in the
present case.
We do not consider it necessary to determine whether the
proceedings here in question lasted six or seven years as the
applicants allege. We note that the period involved was in any event
considerably shorter than the periods with which the Court was
concerned in the Erkner and Hofauer case and the Poiss case, the
shortest of which lasted more than sixteen years.
We further note that the Provincial Land Reform Board examined
the applicants' allegations concerning the damage caused to them by the
provisional property transfer and twice expressed the reasoned opinion
that the applicants' complaints were unfounded in both law and fact.
In this respect, the present case can be distinguished from the
Wieninger case in which the Commission found a violation of Article 1
of Protocol No. 1 (Comm. Report of 11 January 1984, No. 12650/87 not
yet published).
In these circumstances there is in our view nothing to indicate
that the provisional property transfer imposed on the applicants an
individual and excessive burden such as to amount to a violation of
Article 1 of Protocol No. 1.
