Europe – The European Court of Human Rights, in a judgment of 4 December 2025 (No. 9953/16 – Kosmatska v. Ukraine), found Ukraine responsible for ensuring the full restitution of the applicant’s property title over a plot of land, or providing her with financial compensation or equivalent property, when the land had been purchased in good faith from individuals who had acquired it fraudulently to the detriment of the Ukrainian State. The Court held that, although the public-interest objective invoked (restoration of land lawfulness) may be legitimate, the measure applied to the applicant was disproportionate due to her good faith and the State’s failure in maintaining land registers, as this dispossession imposed an excessive individual burden on the bona fide citizen
