CASE OF H.F. AND OTHERS v. FRANCE (no. 24384/19)
What was at stake
Whether the French authorities’ refusal to allow the applicants, who are French nationals, to return to France violated their right not to be expelled from their own country under Article 3 of Protocol No. 4.
What the court decided
The Court declared the remainder of the application inadmissible but found a violation of the prohibition of expulsion of nationals, ordering France to take individual measures to remedy the breach and holding that the finding of a violation was sufficient to address the claim for non‑pecuniary damage.
