JOINT PARTLY DISSENTING OPINION OF JUDGE S HIRVELÄ AND BIANKU

The instant case raises issues similar to those dealt with by the Court in Moskal v. Poland (no. 10373/05) and Lewandowski v. Poland (38459/03) . The majority in those cases found that there had been a breach of Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention. We dissented. We dissent in this case also, for the reasons we gave in our Joint Partly Dissenting Opinion in the Moskal case and in the Lewandowski case.
