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 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.
In view of the above, the Court finds that these complaints must be rejected in accordance with Article 35 §§ 3 and 4 of the Convention.
C. Remaining complaints
Some applicants also raised other complaints under various Articles of the Convention.
The Court has examined the applications listed in the appended table and considers that, in the light of all the material in its possession and in so far as the matters complained of are within its competence, these complaints either do not meet the admissibility criteria set out in Articles 34 and 35 of the Convention or do not disclose any appearance of a violation of the rights and freedoms enshrined in the Convention or the Protocols thereto.
It follows that this part of the applications must be rejected in accordance with Article 35 § 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 24 November 2016 .
