Europe – In a judgment delivered on 13 May 2026 (Case C-286/25), the Court of Justice of the European Union held that, where a Member State infringes EU law by unlawfully depriving individuals of property rights, the persons concerned must be granted full, effective, and adequate compensation. Consequently, a compensation scheme based solely on the value of the property at the time the rights were withdrawn does not satisfy that requirement, since it fails to take into account the loss of profit suffered by the rights holders, in particular the income they could have derived from the use or lease of the property concerned. The Court further held that EU law, in particular Article 63 TFEU and Article 17 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights, precludes national legislation that makes it excessively difficult to obtain full compensation for damage caused by a sufficiently serious breach of EU law
