Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the administrative appeal against the confiscation decision was admissible
Decisione estratta
The appeal was in principle admissible because the confiscation affected civil rights protected by Article 6 ECHR, notwithstanding the general exclusion for foreign-relations matters.
Motivazione estratta
The Court accepted access to a tribunal for a civil-rights dispute and therefore did not apply the OJ exclusion to bar review.
