CASE OF H.A. AND OTHERS v. HUNGARY (no. 39498/18)
Machine-found from the cited source, not yet confirmed by a human. Open the source before relying on it.
What was at stake
Whether Hungary has taken effective measures to prevent new violations of the Convention and complied with the Court's judgment by paying the awarded compensation.
What happened
The applicants, identified as H.A. and others, alleged that Hungary had failed to adopt effective measures to prevent further violations of the European Convention on Human Rights and had not complied with a prior Court judgment ordering compensation for the violations. The Hungarian government responded by providing information on the steps it had taken to prevent new violations and asserted that the compensation ordered by the Court had been paid.
What the court decided
The Court noted the government’s information on measures to prevent new violations and confirmed that the compensation ordered in the judgment had been paid, concluding that the respondent State had fulfilled its obligations under the Convention.
How the court got there
The Court assessed the adequacy of the measures described by the Hungarian authorities and found them sufficient to meet the state's obligation to prevent further breaches of the Convention. It also verified that the compensation awarded in the earlier judgment had indeed been paid, leading to the conclusion that Hungary had fulfilled its obligations under the Convention.
