4.  The applicant was born in 1945 and lives in Timişoara. 5.  In 1960, the plots of land situated in Cluj-Napoca, E. Murgu Street nos. 15-21 and 40, which were the property of the applicant’s father, were seized by the State under Decree no. 92/1950 on nationalisation. 6.  On 8 September 1998 the Cluj Court of Appeal, by a final decision, allowed an action by the applicant, annulled the seizure as being unlawful and ordered restitutio in integrum. 7.  Although there had been judicial recognition of his property rights, the applicant was not able to recover possession of some of these plots of land because on 14 March 1996 the authorities had issued ownership titles to third parties under Law no. 18/1991. These titles concerned the plots of land situated on E. Murgu Street nos. 17, 19 and 21 and registered in the Land Register under nos. 13956/9/2, 13958/4/2, 13956/10/2, 13958/5/2, 13956/11/3, 13958/6/3, 13957/9/3, 13956/11/2, 13958/6/2 and 12957/9/2, with a total surface of 1,088 sq. m. 8.  On 17 May 2001 the applicant brought proceedings against the third parties for the Land Register to be rectified. On 3 July 2003 the Cluj Court of Appeal, by a final decision, dismissed the action. The court noted that the final decision of 8 September 1998 had certified the applicant’s right of property, but refused to annul the land titles of the third parties on the grounds that the applicant had neither registered that action in the Land Register nor lodged an action under Laws nos. 18/1991 and 169/1997 to annul these titles. 9.  On 12 November 2001 the applicant claimed restitution in kind of the land under Law no. 10/2001 governing immovable property wrongfully seized by the State. So far he has not received any response.
