ECtHR finds excessive delay in K.V. Mediterranean Tours property proceedings

The European Court of Human Rights adopted its merits judgment in K.V. Mediterranean Tours Limited v. Türkiye on 13 May 2025 and notified it on 10 June 2025. The Court found that the Immovable Property Commission had failed to act with the coherence, diligence and appropriate expedition required by Article 1 of Protocol No. 1.¹

The Court required continued efforts to accelerate IPC proceedings and to create an effective remedy for excessive delays. The judgment concerns the delay established in this application; it does not declare the IPC generally invalid.¹
