SECOND SECTION
DECISION
Application no . 45908/11 Fatma DEVECÄ°OÄžLU against Turkey and 52 other applications (see list appended)
The European Court of Human Rights (Second Section), sitting on 18 June 2013 as a Chamber composed of:
Guido Raimondi, President, Danutė Jočienė , Peer Lorenzen , András Sajó , Işıl Karakaş , Nebojša Vučinić , Helen Keller, judges, and Stanley Naismith , Section Registrar ,
Having regard to the above applications, listed in the Appendix,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
THE FACTS
A list of the applicants is set out in the Appendix. Additionally, the case and decision numbers of the impugned proceedings appear in the Appendix .
A. The circumstances of the case
The facts of the case, as submitted by the applicants, may be summarised as follows.
On various dates, the applicants initiated actions before various civil courts or civil proceedings were brought against them before the civil courts. The procedures are still pending before the domestic courts.
B. Relevant domestic law
A description of the relevant domestic law may be found in Müdür Turgut and Others (( dec. ), no 4860/09, §§ 19-26, 26 March 2013 ).
COMPLAINTS
The applicants complained under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention that the proceedings before the national courts had not been concluded within a reasonable time.
Certain applicants also alleged a violation of Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention .
THE LAW
I. JOINDER OF THE APPLICATIONS
The Court first considers that in accordance with Rule 42 § 1 of the Rules of Court, the applications should be joined, given the similarity of the facts and of the legal issues raised.
II. ALLEGED VIOLATION OF ARTICLE 6 § 1 OF THE CONVENTION
The applicants complained that the length of the proceedings was incompatible with the “reasonable time” requirement, laid down in Article 6 § 1 of the Convention, which reads as follows:
“In the determination of his civil rights and obligations ..., everyone is entitled to a ... hearing within a reasonable time by a ... tribunal...”
The Court observes that the applicants asserted that the length of the proceedings was incompatible with the principle of the “reasonable time” requirement in accordance with Article 6 § 1 of the Convention. In that respect, the Court found in Müdür Turgut and Others (cited above, § 56) that the Compensation Commission established by Law n o. 6384, insofar as it is a priori accessible and capable of offering reasonable prospects of redress for complaints concerning the length of proceedings, constituted a remedy which applicants were required to exhaust for the purposes of Article 35 § 1 of the Convention. In the present cases, the Court sees no reason to come to a different conclusion.
It follows that these complaints must be rejected under Article 35 §§ 1 and 4 of the Convention for non-exhaustion of domestic remedies.
III. ALLEGED VIOLATION OF ARTICLE 1 OF PROTOCOL NO. 1 OF THE CONVENTION
The applicants claimed under Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 that the amounts awarded to them had lost their value due to the length of the proceedings. The Court observes that the civil proceedings against the applicants are still pending before the domestic courts. Therefore, the related complaints under this article are premature and must be rejected for non-exhaustion of domestic remedies pursuant to Article 35 §§ 1 and 4 of the Convention.
For these reasons, the Court unanimously
Decides to join the applications ;
Declares the applications inadmissible.
