FOURTH SECTION
DECISION
Application no. 19565/14 Péter DEÁK against Hungary
The European Court of Human Rights (Fourth Section), sitting on 25 October 2018 as a Committee composed of:
Georges Ravarani, President, Marko Bošnjak, Péter Paczolay, judges,
and Liv Tigerstedt, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,
Having regard to the above application lodged on 28 February 2014 ,
Having regard to the observations submitted by the respondent Government,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The applicant ’ s details are set out in the appended table.
The applicant was represented by Mr Z. Peszlen, residing in Budapest.
The applicant ’ s complaints under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention concerning the excessive length of civil proceedings were communicated to the Hungarian Government (“the Government”) .
THE LAW
Complaints under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention ( excessive length of civil proceedings )
In the present application, having examined all the material before it, the Court considers that for the reasons stated below, the respondent Government cannot be held liable for the protraction of the proceedings.
In particular, the Court notes that the litigation was interrupted on 28 June 2007 and the ensuing period was not imputable to the authorities. The relevant length of the case thus did not exceed a “reasonable time” within the meaning of Article 6 § 1 of the Convention.
In view of the above, the Court finds that these complaints are manifestly ill-founded and must be rejected in accordance with Article 35 §§ 3 and 4 of the Convention.
For these reasons, the Court, unanimously,
Declares the application inadmissible.
Done in English and notified in writing on 15 November 2018 .
