The applicants ’ complaints under Articles 6 § 1 and 13 of the Convention concerning the excessive length of civil proceedings and the lack of any effective remedy in domestic law were communicated to the Ukrainian Government (“the Government”) .
THE LAW
A. Joinder of the applications
Having regard to the similar subject matter of the applications, the Court finds it appropriate to examine them jointly in a single decision.
B. Complaints under Articles 6 § 1 and 13 of the Convention ( excessive length of civil proceedings and the lack of any effective remedy in domestic law )
The Court, having examined all the materials submitted to it and having regard to its case-law on the subject, considers that the applicants ’ complaints under this head are inadmissible since the length of the proceedings was not excessive or unreasonable (see, Yuryeva and Yuryev v. Ukraine , no. 3431/03, § 43, 31 July 2012). Furthermore, the complaints in application no. 10437/14 concerning the proceedings between 18 March 2005 and 15 August 2012 were introduced out of time.
In view of the above, the Court finds that these complaints are inadmissible and must be rejected in accordance with Article 35 §§ 1, 3 and 4 of the Convention.
For these reasons, the Court, unanimously,
Decides to join the applications;
Declares the application s inadmissible.
Done in English and notified in writing on 11 January 2018 .
