Britain’s Court of Appeal has decided to refer certain points of the Orams case to the European Court of Justice.

The Court of Appeal is expected to announce its final verdict on the case.
In a written statement today, the Presidential spokesman said the British Court’s ruling meant that the case- filed by Greek Cypriot Meletis Apostolides, who claims that the land on which the Orams property had been built was his, was not accepted.

The property case involved a British couple, David and Linda Orams and Greek Cypriot Meletis Apostolides.

The case was brought to the court by Apostolides who claims that a land in Lapta on which the Orams property had been built was his.

Last year, British High Court said it could not enforce an earlier ruling by a court in South Cyprus which ordered the demolition of the couple’s home in Lapta and seizure of the couple’s assets in Britain, as the EU acquis communitaire is not being implemented in North Cyprus.

In a written statement today, the Presidential spokesman Hasan Ercakica pointed out that the Court of Appeal has decided to refer certain points of the Orams case to the Court of Justice of the European Communities, which also known as European Court of Justice.

The spokesman said that the Court did not reverse the decision of an earlier ruling by British High Court who said it could not enforce an earlier ruling by a court in South Cyprus which ordered the demolition of the couple’s home in Lapta and seizure of the couple’s assets in Britain, as the EU acquis communitaire is not being implemented in North Cyprus.
He said that the Court’s decision meant that an earlier ruling by a Greek Cypriot Court on the case cannot be enforced.

`The Court decided to refer certain points of the Orams case to the European Court of Justice. It’s expected to take two years for the ECJ to prepare its view regarding the case. During this period, an earlier decision by the British High Court will be valid` he said.

Pointing out that the decision was taken after the two sides agreed to refer the case to the ECJ, the spokesman said `the point important is that last year’s ruling by British High Court on the case is still valid and this means that the rightfulness of the Orams case has once again been approved.

Complaining that the Greek Cypriot officials have been trying to reflect the British Appeal Court’s decision as a `triumph` for themselves, he said `it is very clear that their statements are not reflecting the realities`.

Referring to the Greek Cypriot Government Spokesman’s statement calling the Court of Appeal’s decision as `positive`, he said that the Greek Cypriot Administration has been trying to mislead the public opinion.

Sme people on this Forum are behaving in the same way Halil. They are choosing not to get involved with the realities in life and are still trying to sell us their dreams instead of what is really happening on the island. Many threads like this and the ones I post go unchallenged. Everthing is well in the south....Or at least that is what they want us to believe. The biggest crook of them all, TPap, whose dodgy dealings are there for alll to see on many fronts, are not important it seems.

First of all we are all aware of the case from reliable sources. There is no point trying to discuss distorted news from biased sources.

In a nutshell the British Court decided than another faulty decision would totally disgrace the so called "impartial British Justice". Because surely the next step would be to ridicule them at the EU court. So, to avoid that eventuality, they decided to refer it's important parts to the EU in advance.

Capiche Zany?

"the realities of life" - you miserable sod! Why don't you write what you really mean. For "realities of life" read:- What we have stolen from you or Might is Right or We have an Air Force or Our Allies across the sea outnumber you 100 to 1 or If we keep you out long enough we will win or America needs us more than you, ETC

Zany doesn't even understand basic issues to have a meaningful discussion with Jerry. He is just a sentimental parrot who repeats everything that "touches" him.

That is a perfect summary of Zan.

In response to the article here are some responses to it,

Have your say

How can any Turk lay claim to land illegally occupied under a military occupation of a portion of Cyprus for which the illegal government is not recognised by any Government in the entire World except the Turkish Government. Not only that but this Turk then SOLD the land over which there was no legal rights to an innocent British couple. Two wrongs DO NOT and never will MAKE A RIGHT .....
JS, Singapore,

how can any greek lay claim to land in Turkish Cyprus? This would set a dangerous precedent for all land to be taken back through the courts.
KL, Istanbul, Turkiye

OH! Sorry Simon. I will prepare a post which I can use in every one of my posts that explains everything that I have said since my first post so that you cannot say that again. Have you read any other posts that I have made or should we have a recap on the whole thing. Try to keep up little man


As to the rest I think you need a little reminder of what you did to us and have never rectified. Shall we go down that route or would you rather keep your mouth shut. My god you people are so arrogant that it will drive the entire TC people into fighting you tooth and nail to show you that we are serious in all this. You lay claim to only what you lost and are about as fair as the devil wanting our souls. When you can be fair on this then maybe you can scream for fairness from us.

What is this guy talking about? Devils and souls?

Isn't he the one who complained nobody commented on the Orams case-phase 2? Do you have anything to say on THAT Zany, or you will continue describing us your nightmares episode number 3961??
