Extract

[The highest Greek court ruled that the Greece Catholic Church (church) has no legal personality to bring legal proceedings to protect its property rights; the European Court of Human Rights (Court) concludes that such denial of access to a court violates the Convention and that the church has claimed reasonable damages resulting from its inability to bring proceedings concerning the rebuilding of a surrounding wall]
