Coppola and Others v. Italy (nos. 5179/05, 14611/05, 29701/06, 9041/05, 8239/05)
The applicants in these cases were the subjects of bankruptcy proceedings. Relying on
Article 8, they complain of a breach of their right to respect for private and family life, on
account of the entry of their names in the bankruptcy register and the fact that they
could not apply for rehabilitation until five years after termination of the bankruptcy
proceedings. Relying on Article 6 § 1 (right to a fair hearing) and Article 13 (right to an
effective remedy), they claim that no remedies were available to complain of the
extension of the restrictions arising from their bankruptcies. In addition, they complain
about a number of other restrictions of their rights as guaranteed by the Convention,
resulting from this situation.
Alpatov and others v. Ukraine (no. 7321/05 and 107 other applications)
The applicants complain about the lengthy non-enforcement of judgments in their favour
and about the lack of effective domestic remedies in this respect. They rely in particular
on Article 6 § 1 (right to a fair hearing within a reasonable time), Article 13 (right to an
effective remedy), and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 (protection of property).
