of Court titled ‘Just satisfaction claims’ 1367 (hereinafter also referred to also as ‘the Directions on just satisfaction’). The Directions on just satisfaction regulate the formal requirements to claims, defines the term ‘damage’ and set forth types of damage and forms of the Court’s awards. A summary of information regarding compensation granted in the form of equitable relief may also be found in the Memorandum on monitoring of the payment of sums awarded by way of just satisfaction 1368 elaborated by the Department for the Execution. The Memorandum regulates the issues of determining the beneficiary, circumstances in which it is necessary to obtain a power of attorney, place of payment, limits of payment and the currency used. In addition to primary sources, we can find specific conditions for determining the award of just satisfaction and the grounds in the case-law of the Court. It can be said that in its judgments, the Court addresses the issue of just satisfaction to such an extent that this practice may serve as a good source for the detailed examination of the notion. 1369 Moreover, some of the judgments of the Court deal directly with the issue of just satisfaction under Article 41 of the Convention, after a separate judgment on merits. 1370 Now, the Court even includes the expression ‘just satisfaction’ in the title of cases. 1371 Before significant reform of the Convention in 1998, 1372 just satisfaction was envisaged by Article 50 of the Convention; therefore, earlier judgments had this provision in the title. 1373 The new edition entered into force on 1 January 2014, p. 63.
