Wood v United Kingdom (1997) 24 EHRR CD 69; (1997) 2 EHRLR 685
This case arose from the repossession of the applicant's house by a mortgagee when she defaulted on her mortgage payments. The Commission held the application to be ill-founded and stated (at 70-71):"In so far as the repossession constituted an interference with the applicant's home, the Commission finds that this was in accordance with the terms of the loan and the domestic law and was necessary for the protection of the rights and freedoms of others, namely the lender. To the extent that the applicant is deprived of her possessions by the repossession, the Commission considers that this deprivation is in the public interest, that is the public interest in ensuring payment of contractual debts, and is also in accordance with the rules provided for by law."
