SECOND SECTION
DECISION
Application no. 6228/18
Zekai BİLGİN against Turkey
and 53 other applications
(see list appended)
The European Court of Human Rights (Second Section), sitting on 17 May 2022 as a Committee composed of:
Egidijus Kūris, President,
Pauliine Koskelo,
Gilberto Felici, judges,
and Hasan Bakırcı, Section Registrar,
Having regard to:
The applications against Turkey lodged with the Court under Article 34 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (“the Convention”) by the applicants listed in the appended table (“the applicants”), on the various dates indicated therein;
The decision to give notice of the application to the Turkish Government (“the Government”), represented by their Agent Mr Hacı Ali Açıkgül, Head of the Human Rights Department of the Ministry of Justice;
Having regard to the observations submitted by the respondent Government and the observations in reply submitted by the applicants;
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE
1. The applications concern the withdrawal of the applicants’ licences to operate bus lines. The facts and complaints are very similar to those in the case of Temizişler Madeni Yağ Sanayi Ticaret Limited Şirketi v. Turkey, ((dec.) no. 44159/18, 12 October 2021).
THE COURT’S ASSESSMENT
2. Having regard to the similar subject matter of the applications, the Court finds it appropriate to examine them jointly in a single decision.
3. The applicants complain of an infringement of their right to peaceful enjoyment of their possessions within the meaning of Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 on account of the withdrawal of their licenses to operate bus lines. They also allege that the domestic court decisions lacked sufficient reasoning and that that they were unable to participate in the court proceedings in violation of their right to a fair trial under Article 6 of the Convention.
4. The Court notes that in the Temizişler Madeni Yağ Sanayi Ticaret Limited Şirketi decision (cited above), it found that the applicant company could not be unaware of the fact that it did not have a right to renewal beyond the ten-year period and that there was a clear risk that the contract would expire at the end of the ten years’ period foreseen in the law, regardless of the intentions of the municipal authorities. The Court further considered that the illegal nature of a renewal beyond this period was sufficiently clear that, despite the municipality’s conduct, the withdrawal of the license and the lack of compensation could not be considered to have placed an individual excessive burden on the applicant. Accordingly, the Court ruled that neither the non-renewal nor the absence of compensation upset the fair balance which must exist between the various interests at stake under Article 1 of Protocol No. 1.
5. As to the other complaints, having regard to the information in its possession and in so far as it had jurisdiction to rule on the allegations made, the Court found no appearance of a violation.
6. Turning to the circumstances of the present cases and having examined all the material submitted to it, the Court has not found any fact or argument capable of persuading it to reach a different conclusion as regards these applications.
7. It follows that these applications are manifestly ill-founded and must be rejected in accordance with Article 35 §§ 3 (a) and 4 of the Convention.
For these reasons, the Court, unanimously,
Decides to join the applications;
Declares the applications inadmissible.
Done in English and notified in writing on 9 June 2022.
