Portugal (no. 61173/08) The applicant, Mr Baltasar Santos Nunes, is a Portuguese national who was born in 1979 and lives in Sert� (Portugal). He had a casual relationship with a Brazilian national, who subsequently had a child. He claims that he was not informed that his partner was pregnant until shortly before the birth. The child was registered as having an unknown father. The Attorney-General's Department instituted paternity proceedings. Following genetic tests, Mr Santos Nunes acknowledged paternity of the child. He then applied to the Attorney-General's Department to be granted parental responsibility. He alleges that the Portuguese authorities' inaction and lack of diligence, together with the excessive length of the proceedings for the enforcement of the decision awarding him custody of the child, infringed Article 6 � 1 (right to a fair hearing within a reasonable time) and Article 8 (right to respect for private and family life) of the Convention. Mladenovic v. Serbia (no. 1099/08) The applicant, Milijana Mladenovi, is a Serbian national who was born in 1948 and lives in Belgrade. Relying on Article 2 (right to life), she complains about the Serbian authorities' failure to effectively investigate the death of her son who was shot by an off-duty police officer in July 1991 during a fight between two groups of young people. Relying also on Article 6 � 1 (right to a fair trial), she alleges that the criminal proceedings against that police officer were excessively long. Hasdemir v. Turkey (no. 44027/09) The applicant, Mehmet Hasdemir, is a Turkish national who was born in 1961 and is currently detained in zmit F type prison (Turkey).

His detention pending trial was repeatedly prolonged and he was ultimately convicted in December 2011 and sentenced to life imprisonment. Relying on Article 5 �� 3 and 5 (right to liberty and security) and Article 6 � 1 (right to a fair trial), Mr Hasdemir complains about the excessive length of both his detention awaiting trial and the criminal proceedings against him. Hatice Duman v. Turkey (no. 43918/08) The applicant, Hatice Duman, is a Turkish national who was born in 1974 and is currently serving a prison sentence in Gebze Prison (Turkey).

Relying on Article 5 � 3 (right to liberty and security) and Article 5 � 4 (right to have lawfulness of detention decided speedily by a court), Ms Duman complains about the excessive length of her detention awaiting trial and about there not being an effective remedy available to her with which to challenge that.

Portugal (no. 43359/07) The applicant, Mr Jos� Ant�nio Colares Pereira Fernandes Soares, is a Portuguese national who alleges that the assessment and delayed payment of compensation for the expropriation of plots of land belonging to him infringed his right to the peaceful enjoyment of his possessions.
