The court ruled that the applicants, complaining about the demolition of their home, should provide at least a brief description of the property in question. As additional examples of proof of ownership or residence, the Court accepted such documents as title documents to land and property, extracts from land cadastres and tax registers, documents of local administration, plans, photographs and receipts, as well as evidence of mail delivery, testimony witnesses or any other evidence related to the case.<\/p>\n It is noteworthy that technical passports were considered as general “inventory and technical documents” and were considered indirect evidence of ownership of buildings and land.<\/p>\n Despite the diversity of property protected by the Convention: movable or immovable property, legitimate expectations, rights of claim, securities, professional clients, licenses, future income, intellectual property, property arena, social security, Dynasty Law & Investment lawyers will find ways to do so. protection at the national and international levels.<\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Author:\u00a0Alexey Grachev, lawyer of Dynasty Law & Investment Destruction of property during war in the context of \u00a7 1 of Additional Protocol \u2116 1 to the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (hereinafter referred to as “the Protocol”) is regarded by the European Court of Human Rights as a violation of […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4489,"featured_media":416948,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false},"categories":[24,23],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\n
