Radobuljac v Croatia. Lawful refusal to extinguish the applicant’s tax debt by offsetting it with his enforceable claims. ECHR

In the case of Radobuljac v Croatia, the ECHR holds that there has been no violation of Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention. Mr Radobuljac complains that the authorities’ refusal to offset his tax debt against his enforceable claims was unlawful and that, by instituting enforcement and minor-offence proceedings against him for failing to pay taxes on time, while at the same time not paying its own debts to him, an excessive individual burden had been placed on him by the State.
