Following the declaration of insolvency the city of Benevento, the applicant creditor of said municipality, could not obtain payment of his claim, and there was a violation of Article 6-1 of the Convention on account of the fact that the applicant had been deprived during a excessively long time, his right of access to a court that would have allowed him to enforce the judgment recognizing its debt vis-a-vis the municipality. The Court also decided to award the applicant 50,000 euros (EUR) for pecuniary and non-pecuniary and EUR 5 000 for costs and expenses. She rejected the claim for just satisfaction for the remainder.
