Grand Chamber judgment concerning Hungary
07/07/2020
In the case of Albert and Others v. Hungary the Court declared the application inadmissible in respect of 233 of the applicants and struck the case out of its list in respect of four others who no longer wished to maintain their application.
The case concerned a Hungarian law of 2013 imposing the integration of two banks, Kinizsi Bank Zrt. and Mohácsi Takarék Bank Zrt, into a central supervisory scheme.
The 237 applicants, who had been shareholders in two savings banks, complained about the impact of that law on their right to influence the management and policy of those banks.

Judgment concerning Switzerland
07/07/2020In the case of K.A. v. Switzerland, the Court found that there had been no violation of the Convention.
The applicant is a Kosovar national who was deported from Switzerland, where his wife and son, who are both ill, are still living, following his criminal conviction for a drugs offence. He complained about the denial of his request for an extension of his residence permit and the order temporarily banning him from returning to Switzerland.
The Court found that, despite the strength of the applicant’s personal ties with Switzerland, the Swiss authorities could legitimately consider, in view of his conduct and the seriousness of his offences, that it was necessary, for the purposes of preventing disorder and crime, not to extend his residence permit and to prohibit him from entering Switzerland for a limited duration of 7 years.

The case concerns a post-election dispute following the elections held on 25 May 2014.
