EUROPEAN COURT OF JUSTICE JUDGEMENT ON PROPERTY RIGHTS IN CYPRUS

That this House notes the judgement of the European Court of Justice that a judgement of a District Court in the Republic of Cyprus ordering the British occupiers of a property in the occupied north area of Cyprus to vacate the property and to pay various monetary amounts in compensation to the Greek Cypriot owner of the land is enforceable in all countries of the EU; expects the judgement to be enforced in the UK; welcomes this clarification of property rights in Cyprus; and calls on the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to amend its website accordingly to clarify the legal liabilities which may be incurred by British citizens who buy or build on land in the occupied north of Cyprus to which the legal title belongs to absent Greek Cypriot refugees.
