Tokens: In
our
opinion
,
the
Court
could
have
taken
a
clear
stance
.
The
confiscation
measures
ordered
in
the
present
case
were
a
reaction
to
the
violation
of
domestic
rules
relating
to
the
use
of
land
.
In
our
view
it
is
therefore
clear
that
they
constitute
measures
involving
the
“
control
of
the
use
of
property
”
.
By
contrast
,
confiscation
is
not
a
means
of
“
securing
the
payment
”
of
any
“
penalties
”
(
the
French
text
of
Article
1
of
Protocol
No
.
1
reads
“
amendes
”
)
.
It
is
an
autonomous
measure
,
imposed
in
cases
of
unlawful
site
development
,
irrespective
of
whether
or
not
the
owner
has
committed
an
offence
and
has
been
fined
.
