ORUJOVA v. AZERBAIJAN and 30 other applications

Comunicată la 11 octombrie 2017 CEL DE CINCĂ PARTIE Cererea nr. 1776/09 Solmaz ORUJOVA împotriva Azerbaidjanului și alte 30 de cereri (vezi lista anexată) RECLAMARE DE FACTURI Reclamanții sunt cetățeni ai diferitelor state și a companiilor private. Datele lor sunt indicate în anexă. Circumstanțele cazurilor Faptele cazurilor, așa cum au fost depuse de către solicitanți, pot fi rezumate după cum urmează. La diferite date, diferite autorități de stat au expropriat sau demolat case, apartamente, proprietăți nelocuitoare și/sau parcele de teren ale reclamanților, pe baza unor ordine emise de aceștia sau fără nici un ordin, din diferite motive (vezi anexă). Prin compensarea proprietăților expropriate, unii solicitanți au primit o anumită sumă de bani, în timp ce alții au primit sprijin de la alți solicitanți.

Unii solicitanți nu au primit nicio compensație la toate datele (vezi apelul). Unii solicitanți au depus o despăgubire sau o despăgubire în schimbul unor drepturi sau proprietăți, în conformitate cu legea. Reclamanții au cerut returnarea sau restaurarea proprietăților lor sau despăgubiri echitabile. Unii reclamanți au depus, de asemenea, cereri în ceea ce privește prejudicii materiale, inclusiv pierderea de profit, și daune morale pentru suferințele pe care le-au suferit ca urmare a exproprierii sau demolării proprietăților lor. La diferite date (vezi anexa), instanțele de primă instanță relevante au respins sau, în unele cazuri, au confirmat parțial plângerile reclamanților, ordonând autorităților de stat să le plătească o anumită sumă de bani sau să le ofere o proprietate similară ca despăgubire (vezi anexa).

La diferite date (vezi anexa), instanțele de apel și Curtea Supremă au respins sau au confirmat parțial apelurile reclamanților, reiterând în mare parte raționamentul instanțelor inferioare. După presiuni repetate din partea funcționarilor Autorității Executive a Orașului Baku, pe 15 ianuarie și 11 martie 2013, reclamanții din cererea nr. 67851/12 au semnat declarații într-un birou de notar public, indicând că sunt de acord cu suma de despăgubire propusă și renunță la toate cererile pendente și viitoare în fața instanțelor naționale și a Curții. La o dată nespecificată, au semnat, de asemenea, un contract de vânzare a proprietății respective, care fusese deja demolată, pe baza căruia, pe 17 martie 2013, BCEA le-a plătit banii care trebuiau plătiți în temeiul hotărârii.

Pe 7 mai 2013, biroul notarului public a declarat înregistrarea declarațiilor lor nevalidă, deoarece acestea au fost semnate sub coerciție. Pe 8 august 2014, domnul I. Aliyev, avocatul reclamantului din cererea nr. 54572/13, a fost acuzat de evaziune fiscală, antreprenoriat ilegal și abuz de autoritate. Reclamanții (cu excepția celor din cererile 48665/13 și 39211/17) se plâng în temeiul articolului 6 § 1 din Convenție că acțiunile civile inițiate de ei în legătură cu exproprierea/demolirea proprietăților lor au fost nerezonabile; în special că instanțele interne au pronunțat hotărâri nejustificate prin faptul că nu au verificat în mod corespunzător conformitatea interferenței cu legislația internă aplicabilă.

(3) Reclamanții din cererile nr. 13058/10, 16276/13 și 36697/16 se plâng în temeiul articolului 6 § 1 din Convenție cu privire la nerespectarea hotărârilor respective ale instanțelor interne. (4) Reclamanții din cererea nr. 67851/12 se plâng în temeiul articolului 6 § 1 din Convenție cu privire la nerespectarea nerespectării hotărârii instanței interne și plata sumei de judecată datorate de BCE pe baza unei sume de bani deja achitate, după ce au semnat un contract de demolare, și indică faptul că au fost de acord cu dreptul lor de a-și exprima proprietă în termen rezonabil. (6) Reclamanții din cererile din art. 6 § 1 din Convenția nr. 61667/1363, 6.A. 81463, 7.A. 81463, 6.A.7063, 7.A.166, 7.A.166, 6.A.166, 6.A.166, 6.A.166, 6.A.166, 6.A.166, 6.A.166, 6.A.166, 6.A.166, 6.A.167, 6.A.167, 6.A.167, 6.A.167, 6.A.167, 6.A.167, 6.A.167, 6.A.167, 6.A.167, 6.A.167, 6.A.167, 6.A.167, 6.A.167, 6.A.167, 6.A.167, 6.A.167, 6.A.167, 6.A.11), și.168.

Reclamanții din cererile nr. 1776/09, 4306/09, 64762/09, 1213/11, 66035/11, 54136/12, 61496/12, 67851/12, 7949/13, 12836/13, 16276/13, 19381/16, 36697/16, 43408/16 și 39211/17 se plâng, în temeiul articolului 13 din Convenție, coroborate cu articolele 6 și 8 din Convenție și cu art. 1 din Protocolul nr. 1 la Convenție, că nu li s-a oferit o cale de atac care să le ofere o protecție efectivă împotriva încălcării drepturilor lor.8. În special, cum a fost clasificată această privare în conformitate cu dreptul intern (expropriere, naționalizare, confiscare sau altfel)? Ce actul (document sau acțiune fizică a unei autorități publice) a constituit o ingerință în cauzele de față? Care a fost legea aplicabilă formei relevante de privare de proprietate?

Care au fost condițiile de fond și procedurale impuse de legea aplicabilă pentru ca forma relevantă de privare de proprietate să fie legală și au fost respectate aceste condiții în cauzele de față? Care a fost temeiul juridic pentru acțiunile și deciziile autorităților de stat relevante în cauzele de față și au avut competență în temeiul dreptului intern de a lua decizii care să ducă la privarea de proprietăți private, așa cum a fost cazul în cauzele de față? Dacă ingerința a fost legală, a impus o povară excesivă reclamantelor (a se vedea SPIF, SAFFICI, mutandis v. Immobiliare, 1.118, Italia, ECR, 228/98, § 6112 și § 396 din Convenția Europeană privind drepturile Omului Civil și Drepturile Omului Omului), nu a fost stabilită nicio încălcare a dreptului reclamantelor în ceea ce privește aplicarea dreptului lor în temeiul articolului 1 din Convenție (art. 6 din Convenția Europeană, nr. 4867/69)?

În special, având în vedere decizia Curții Supreme privind recursul pe probleme de drept depuse de doi dintre reclamanți, poate această cale de atac să fie considerată eficace în sensul dispoziției de mai sus în ceea ce privește ceilalți reclamanți care nu au recurs la ea?

FIFTH SECTION

Application no 1776/09 Solmaz ORUJOVA against Azerbaijan and 30 other applications (see list appended)

STATEMENT OF FACTS

The applicants are nationals of various States and private companies. Their particulars are indicated in the Appendix. The circumstances of the cases The facts of the cases, as submitted by the applicants, may be summarised as follows. On various dates various State authorities expropriated or demolished the applicants’ houses, flats, non-residential properties and/or plots of land (“the properties”), on the basis of orders issued by them or without any orders, for various reasons (see Appendix). By way of compensation for the expropriated properties, some applicants were paid a certain amount of money, while others were provided with other properties. Some applicants were not given any compensation at all (see Appendix).

On various dates the applicants lodged a complaint with the respective first-instance courts (see Appendix). They complained of breaches of their property rights, in particular that the expropriation or demolition of their properties had not been carried out in accordance with the law. They also complained that the compensation offered or already provided by the State authorities had been unfair and inadequate, arguing that the actual market value of their properties had been much higher or asking for monetary compensation instead of alternative properties. In support of their complaints, some applicants submitted expert valuations of their properties. The applicants asked for the return or restoration of their properties or fair compensation.

Some applicants also lodged claims in respect of pecuniary damage, including loss of profit, and non-pecuniary damage for their suffering as a result of the expropriation or demolition of their properties. On various dates (see Appendix), the relevant first-instance courts dismissed or, in some cases, partly upheld the applicants’ complaints, ordering the State authorities to pay them a certain amount of money or provide a similar property as compensation (see Appendix). On various dates (see Appendix) the appellate courts and the Supreme Court dismissed or partly upheld the applicants’ appeals, largely reiterating the lower courts’ reasoning. The judgments of the domestic courts in applications nos.

13058/10, 16276/13, 36697/16 and 67851/12 have not been enforced. In respect of application no. 32088/11 it is to be noted that only two applicants lodged a cassation appeal with the Supreme Court which were dismissed as no breach of their rights had been found. After repeated pressure by officials of the Baku City Executive Authority, on 15 January and 11 March 2013 the applicants in application no. 67851/12 signed statements in a public notary’s office indicating that they agreed with the amount of compensation proposed and waived all pending and future claims before the domestic courts and the Court. On an unspecified date they also signed a sale contract for the respective property, which had already been demolished, on the basis of which on 17 March 2013 the BCEA paid them the money actually to be paid under the judgment.

On 7 May 2013 the public notary’s office declared the registration of their statements invalid as they had been signed under duress. On 8 August 2014 Mr I. Aliyev, the lawyer of the applicant in application no. 54572/13, was arrested on charges of tax evasion, illegal entrepreneurship and abuse of authority. During a search of his office, a number of documents were seized by the State authorities, including all the case files relating to applications before the Court that were in his possession as a representative. On 25 October 2014 some of the seized documents were returned to Mr J. Javadov, Mr. I. Aliyev’s counsel. COMPLAINTS

COMMON QUESTIONS

1. Were the applicants deprived of their possessions in the public interest, and in accordance with the conditions provided for by law, within the meaning of Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention? Moreover, was the compensation provided to them fair and adequate? In particular, how was that deprivation classified under domestic law (expropriation, nationalisation, confiscation, or other)? What deed (document or physical action of a public authority) constituted an interference in the present cases? What was the law applicable to the relevant form of deprivation of property? What were the substantive and procedural conditions required by the applicable law for the relevant form of deprivation of property to be lawful, and were those conditions complied with in the present cases?

What was the legal basis for the actions and decisions of the relevant State authorities in the present cases, and did they have competence under domestic law to take decisions resulting in the deprivation of privately owned property, as in the present cases? If the interference was lawful, did it impose an excessive individual burden on the applicants (see, mutatis mutandis, Immobiliare Saffi v. Italy, [GC], no. 22774/93, § 59, ECHR 1999-V)? 2. Did the applicants (except those in applications nos. 48665/13 and 39211/17) have a fair hearing in the determination of their civil rights and obligations in the proceedings concerning the violation of their property rights, in accordance with Article 6 § 1 of the Convention?

In particular, was the applicants’ right to a reasoned judgment respected?

CASE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS

1. In respect of application no. 32088/11: Did all the applicants exhaust the domestic remedies as required by Article 35 § 1 of the Convention? In particular, in view of the Supreme Court’s decision on the appeal on points of law lodged by two of the applicants, can that remedy be considered effective within the meaning of the above provision in respect of the other applicants who failed to avail themselves of it? 2. In respect of applications nos. 13058/10, 16276/13 and 36697/16: Was the non-enforcement of the judgments in the applicants’ favour contrary to Article 6 § 1 of the Convention? 3. In respect of application no. 67851/12: Was the non-enforcement of the respective judgment of the domestic court and, instead, payment of the sum due to the applicants by the Baku City Executive Authority (“the BCEA”) on the basis of a sale contract regarding their property allegedly concluded under pressure, contrary to Article 6 § 1 of the Convention?

4. In respect of application no. 12836/13: Was the length of the civil proceedings in breach of the “reasonable time” requirement of Article 6 § 1 of the Convention? 5. In respect of applications nos. 61496/12, 16276/13, 70227/14 and 19381/16: Has there been an interference with the applicants’ right to respect for their home, within the meaning of Article 8 § 1 of the Convention, on account of the expropriation/demolition of their properties and their eviction from them by the State authorities? If so, was that interference in accordance with the law and necessary in terms of Article 8 § 2? 6. In respect of applications nos.

1776/09, 4306/09, 64762/09, 1213/11, 66035/11, 54136/12, 61496/12, 67851/12, 7949/13, 12836/13, 16276/13, 19381/16, 36697/16, 43408/16 and 39211/17: Did the applicants have at their disposal an effective domestic remedy for their complaints under Articles 6 and 8 of the Convention and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention, as required by Article 13 of the Convention? 7. In respect of application no. 54572/13: In view of the seizure of the applicant’s case file from Mr I. Aliyev’s office on 8 and 9 August 2014, has the State hindered the effective exercise of the applicant’s right of application under Article 34 of the Convention?

8. In respect of application no. 67851/12: In view of the alleged pressure by the officials of the BCEA on the applicants to sign statements that also included a waiver of pending or future complaints before the Court, has the State hindered the effective exercise of the applicants’ right of application under Article 34 of the Convention? 9. The parties are requested to provide, where relevant and available, necessary documentary evidence in support of their replies and submissions, excluding the documents which have already been sent to the Court.
