#CEDO: Judgments and decisions of 12 January 2023Justice News247

The European Court of Human Rights has today given notification in writing of 36 judgments1 and

Kılıc v. Austria (application no. 27700/15)
The applicants, Selma Kılıc and Mürsel Kılıc, are Turkish nationals who were born in 1975 and 1974
respectively and live in Vienna.
The case concerns the placement of the applicants’ children with foster families following their
removal from the applicants’ care due to allegations of neglect. The domestic courts ruled,
ultimately, that returning the children to their parents would put them in danger.
Relying on Article 8 (right to respect for private and family life) and Article 9 (freedom of thought,
conscience and religion) of the European Convention on Human Rights, the applicants complain of
the refusal to return their children to their care and that the children’s placement in foster families
did not reflect their religious or ethnic background.
No violation of Article 8
Pařízek v. the Czech Republic (no. 76286/14)
The applicant, Josef Pařízek, is a Czech national who was born in 1975 and lives in Olešnice
(Czech Republic).
The case concerns the increase of Mr Pařízek’s rent on his flat following its sale. He had been living
there since 1999 under a rent-control scheme. It also concerns the court proceedings that followed.
Relying on Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 (protection of property) to the European Convention and
Article 6 § 1 (right to a fair trial) of the Convention, Mr Pařízek complains, in particular, of the court
decisions that led to his rent being increased retroactively, and that the courts did not respond to his
arguments concerning the case-law of the Supreme Court in similar cases.
No violation of Article 1 of Protocol No. 1
No violation of Article 6 §
