44In the second place, as regards the question whether a resolution action adopted under national legislation such as that at issue in the main proceedings constitutes a deprivation of property within the meaning of the second sentence of Article 17(1) of the Charter or a rule relating to the use of property, within the meaning of the third sentence of that provision, it should be noted that, according to the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights, in order to establish the existence of a deprivation of possessions, it is necessary not only to consider whether there has been a formal dispossession or expropriation of property but also to ascertain whether the situation at issue amounted to a de facto expropriation (see, to that effect, ECtHR, 28 July 1999, Immobiliare Saffi v. Italy, CE:ECHR:1999:0728JUD002277493, § 46; ECtHR, 29 March 2010, Depalle v. France, CE:ECHR:2010:0329JUD003404402, § 78).
