"The Assembly notes that according to the official information provided by the IPC, so far it has received 7 596 applications and concluded 1 775 cases, awarding in total 444 884 746 GBP, while it also ruled for exchange and compensation in two cases, restitution in five cases, both restitution and compensation in eight cases, and restitution following the resolution of the Cyprus issue in one case. At the same time, the Assembly notes that, in most cases processed to date, the IPC has ruled for compensation in accordance with claims of the applicants, requesting restitution in only 3.5% of the cases."
Only 3.5% of the applications to the IPC claimed restitution, while vast majority has opted for compensation and even those very few did not insist on restitution and were ready to accept other remedies, which are considered equally effective. Besides the law provides applicants with avenues to challenge IPC's decisions.
