In the case of Kot v. Russia (no. 20887/03, § 29, 18 January 2007), the Court developed that logic.

As the Court reiterates in the present judgment (see paragraphs § 33-34 of the judgment), a departure from the principle of legal certainty is justified only when this is made necessary by circumstances of a substantial and compelling character (see, inter alia, Ryabykh v. Russia, no. 52854/99, § 52, ECHR 2003-IX, and Kot v. Russia, no. 20887/03, § 29, 18 January 2007).

The Court notes that that it is possible to make an award in respect of non-pecuniary damage to a legal person in connection with the "prolonged uncertainty" and "inconvenience" it has suffered in relation to a violation found by the Court (see Comingersoll S.A. v. Portugal [GC], no. 35382/97, § 36, ECHR 2000-IV).
