The case concerned Samsam Mohammed Hussein, who claimed that she and her two young children would be subjected to ill-treatment if transferred from the Netherlands to Italy under the Dublin Regulation.
The case concerned eight students’ complaints about the restrictions imposed on them by Italian legislation aimed at limiting access to universities, following their unsuccessful attempts to obtain a place in the faculties of medicine and dentistry.

The 18 March refusal of the Itallian government’s request in the case Grossi and Others v. Italy (no. 18791/03) means the court’s 30 October 2012 judgement is now final. The court decided that the applicants should receive EUR 734,000 in respect of pecuniary damage and EUR 20,000 in respect of non-pecuniary damage.
The court called on the Italian authorities to “put in place, within one year, a remedy or combination of remedies providing redress in respect of violations of the Convention resulting from overcrowding in prison.”
