THIRD SECTION
DECISION
Application no. 8956/20 Denis Mikhaylovich SAVCHUK and Roman Aleksandrovich SHISHKIN against Russia
(see appended table)
The European Court of Human Rights (Third Section), sitting on 2 June 2022 as a Committee composed of:
Darian Pavli, President, Andreas Zünd, Mikhail Lobov, judges,
and Viktoriya Maradudina, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,
Having regard to the above application lodged on 1 February 2020,
Having regard to the observations submitted by the respondent Government,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The list of applicants is set out in the appended table.
The applicants were represented by Mr A.B. Vologin, a lawyer practising in Volsk.
The applicants’ complaints under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention concerning the excessive length of proceedings were communicated to the Russian Government (“the Government”).
THE LAW
In the present application, having examined all the material before it, the Court considers that for the reasons stated below, the complaints raised by the applicants are inadmissible.
The applicants complained about the length of criminal proceedings against a third party.
The Court notes that the proceedings neither concerned a criminal charge against the applicants, not touched upon their civil right or obligation, as the applicants did not join the proceedings in question as a civil party and did not lodge a tort or any other claim of civil nature within those proceedings.
Having considered the nature of the proceedings in question, the Court finds that the applicants did not bring contentious proceedings touching upon their civil rights falling within the scope of Article 6 of the Convention.
It follows that the application is incompatible ratione materiae with the provisions of the Convention within the meaning of Article 35 § 3 of the Convention and must be rejected in accordance with Article 35 § 4 of the Convention.
For these reasons, the Court, unanimously,
Declares the application inadmissible.
Done in English and notified in writing on 23 June 2022.
