THE CZECH REPUBLIC BEFORE THE EUROPEAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS IN 2014
In any event, the Court refrained from commenting on the situation created
when the Act on unilateral rent increases started to produce effects. It seems that
both the Court and the Constitutional Court share the opinion according to which
the substance of the problem at the material time was the transitory impossibility for
the landlords to increase rents, not necessarily for them to get adequate rent at each
and every moment.
Conclusion
A chronicle usually does not have a proper conclusion. The Court is fulfilling
its important mission in Europe, applicants are submitting new cases and there will
hopefully be a matter for contribution to this Yearbook next year as well. Some of
the cases described above prove that the development of the Court’s case law and its
response to situations that exist in contracting States is a continuous process which
cannot be completed in a year or two.
