Greece (preliminary objections) - 14726/89 Judgment 8.6.1995 Article 35 Article 35-3 Ratione temporis Scope of Supreme Administrative Court's review where a company has been made subject to the regime for businesses in difficulties: preliminary objection allowed [This summary is extracted from the Court’s official reports (Series A or Reports of Judgments and Decisions). Its formatting and structure may therefore differ from the Case-Law Information Note summaries.] THE GOVERNMENT'S PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS (Court's lack of jurisdiction ratione temporis and non-exhaustion of domestic remedies) Applicants' only complaint referred by the Commission to the Court: impossibility in Greek law of having the ministerial order in issue reviewed by a judicial body with full jurisdiction. Even supposing that that impossibility amounted to a breach of Article 6 (the only provision on which the complaint was based), applicants would have become victims of it at a time when Greece had not recognised right of individual petition, namely date of publication of order in question in Official Gazette - facts possibly constituting a breach were therefore covered by time limitation in respect of Article 25 of the Convention. In duly carrying out its review of lawfulness, the Supreme Administrative Court had merely highlighted the aforementioned impossibility. Conclusion : first objection allowed (unanimously). No need to consider the Government's other submissions.   © Council of Europe/European Court of Human Rights This summary by the Registry does not bind the Court.
