The applicants, Rybářství Třeboň a.s. and Rybářství Třeboň Hld. a.s, are two companies registered in
the Czech Republic.
In the 1990s some fishponds and land located in Novosedly nad Nežárkou and Lutová which had
been seized by the communist regime from two Roman Catholic Church parishes were privatised
and came into the ownership of the applicant companies. The case concerns the annulment without
compensation of the privatisation and the property’s return to the Catholic Church.
Relying on Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 (protection of property) to the European Convention on
Human Right and Article 6 § 1 (right to a fair trial) of the European Convention, the applicant
companies complain, in particular, of the dispossession of the property, and of inadequate reasoning
in the relevant court decisions.
No violation of Article 1 of Protocol No. 1
The applicants, a mother and her son, are Czech nationals who were born in 1979 and 2004
respectively and live in Silůvky.

Under Articles 43 and 44 of the Convention, Chamber judgments are not final. During the three-month period following a Chamber
judgment’s delivery, any party may request that the case be referred to the Grand Chamber of the Court. If such a request is made, a
panel of five judges considers whether the case deserves further examination. In that event, the Grand Chamber will hear the case and
deliver a final judgment. If the referral request is refused, the Chamber judgment will become final on that day. Under Article 28 of the
Convention, judgments delivered by a Committee are final.
Once a judgment becomes final, it is transmitted to the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe for supervision of its execution.

Inadmissibility and strike-out decisions are final.
