Judgment_paragraph 96 · Frank Steinhoff and Others v European Central Bank (T-107/17)

96The right to property as enshrined in Article 17(1) of the Charter is a fundamental right of EU law (see judgment of 18 July 2013, Schindler Holding and Others v Commission, C‑501/11 P, EU:C:2013:522, paragraph 124 and the case-law cited), respect for which is a condition of the lawfulness of EU acts (see, to that effect, judgment of 3 September 2008, Kadi and Al Barakaat International Foundation v Council and Commission, C‑402/05 P and C‑415/05 P, EU:C:2008:461, paragraph 284 and the case-law cited). Furthermore, that provision, which states that everyone has the right to own his lawfully acquired possessions, is a rule of law intended to confer rights on individuals (see, to that effect, judgment of 20 September 2016, Ledra Advertising and Others v Commission and ECB, C‑8/15 P to C‑10/15 P, EU:C:2016:701, paragraph 66).
