THE IMMOVABLE PROPERTY

COMMISSION

The Immovable Property Commission (IPC) was set up under the Immovable Property Law (67/2005) in accordance with the rulings of the European Court of Human Rights in the case of Xenides-Arestis v Turkey. The purpose of this measure was to establish an effective domestic remedy for claims relating to abandoned properties in North Cyprus.

The IPC examines claims for restitution, compensation and exchange according to the provisions of the law 67/2005. Its considerations are based on the principles of bizonality and bicommunality which have been common elements of the 1977-1979 high level agreements as well as plans for a settlement of the Cyprus issue prepared by the United Nations. It seeks to satisfy the legitimate claims of property owners without prejudice to the rights of the Turkish Cypriot Community.

Erginel Law has helped a number of Greek Cypriots to apply to the IPC. Positive results have been achieved and applicants have expressed their satisfaction with the work undertaken.
