11
14. The applicant also complained of a violation of his right to respect for his family life resulting from the length of the proceedings complained of. He relied on Article <mask> of the Convention.

105. The applicant submitted that the prolonged distress and anguish caused by his son's disappearance over the past eleven years amounted to a violation of his right to respect for family life within the meaning of Article <mask> of the Convention.

53. The applicant resided in Switzerland between 1989 and 2008, that is to say for more than eighteen years – with a short interruption in 1993-94 – and he worked and raised his family there.

11
175.

11
48. The applicants complained that the Supreme Court, in its decision of 15 October 1996 in the enforcement proceedings, had ordered a review of questions which had already been dealt with in the final return order under the Hague Convention and that this review had eventually led to the non-enforcement of the return ...

73.

11
57.

11
47. The Government submitted that there had been no violation of Article <mask> of the Convention. The eviction order had been in accordance with the law, it had pursued a legitimate aim and had been necessary in order to protect the rights of forced migrants. The housing occupied by the applicants was federal propert...
11
203. The Government claimed that the interference with the applicant’s home had been justified under paragraph 2 of Article <mask> of the Convention.

11
153. The applicants maintained that the search conducted at their home had not been “in accordance with the law” and could not be regarded as being necessary in a democratic society and had therefore been in breach of Article <mask> of the Convention. They also contended that the first applicant could claim to be a vi...
11
11. The Government contended that the applicant had not exhausted domestic remedies. They maintained that, in the context of the criminal proceedings against the applicant, the High Court could only examine the conformity of the interception with the legal norms then in force and that no complaint under Article <mask>...

11
58. The Government relied on the Court’s case-law in cases against Latvia to argue that the circumstances of the present case were different from cases where the Court found a violation of Article <mask> of the Convention (Lavents v.

11
134. The Government considered that there had been no interference with the applicant’s right to respect for her private life and her home, because the level of noise and other alleged nuisance had not attained the minimum level of severity required by Article <mask> of the Convention.

137. The Government challenged the existence of a family life in the present case, relying essentially on the absence of a biological link between the applicants and the child and on the illegality of the applicants’ conduct under Italian law.
