Abstract:
In principle, confiscation should be considered an interference with property rights, because the person concerned is losing a part of his property. However, the
right to property is not an absolute one. It may be subject to limitations. Therefore, an
interference with the right to property must, first of all, be prescribed by law. At the same
time, the law must be accessible and predictable. The interference must also pursue one
or more legitimate purposes. Finally, there must be a reasonable proportionality between the used means and the pursued aim or aims. If these conditions are met, we cannot
speak of a violation of the right in question.
