If the "authorities " in the "trnc" refuse to grant them permission to demolish the villa , the Orams can do absolutely nothing about it and the Courts will be powerless in taking any action against them .
This demonstrates that Mr. Apostolides may have got a financial award (which could never have justified his potential costs risk) but he hasn't got and never could have got possesion of either the villa or the land it stands on. Whilst in an ideal world it would have done so, such cases cannot be said to be attempts to reposess land/property claimed by GCs, but attempts to disrupt the economy of the TRNC and discourage potential EU buyers. Nothing at all wrong with that as a legitimate tactic provided it is honestly stated as being just a tactic and not passed-off as an attempt at recovering property for sentimental reasons or "on principle." However, such tactics could be said to undermine genuine settlement talks when they are underway. For this reason, I think the UK court could have stalled the ruling.
Really Vaughanwilliams, really??? "Such tactics (to disrupt the economy of the TRNC and discourage potential EU buyers) could be said to undermine genuine settlement talks when they are underway?" Really??? In other words, under the pre-text that settlement talks are underway -and which might as well be underway for an indefinite period of time; you wish to retain the free hand and a free ride to a continues looting of illegally usurped GC properties in the occupied north -obviously until none is left to be returned back to its legal owners one day, so as not to "disturb" the talks under way. This is what you are basically saying, Mr. crook, but let me tell you what I say! What I say, in Turkish is called SIKTIR, and in English, well, figure it out yourself!
Quite so, the work of the Courts, wherever they may be, must go on, "talks or no ""talks".
One of Mr Candounas's motives, perhaps even the main motive, was to make the "sales" of other peoples' lands and houses that were muddying the waters of a property settlement, more difficult.
He certainly seems to have been successful in this aim.
