Trial Within a Reasonable Time
Protection of parties’ rights in court proceedings that last longer than reasonably justified.
Every party has the right to have a court decide on their rights and obligations within a reasonable period, without unjustified delays.
We provide support in using legal remedies designed to expedite proceedings and secure the right to just satisfaction.
Proceedings that last for years cause harm even when they are eventually won. The law therefore gives parties special remedies to demand faster proceedings and compensation for the violation of this right.
Areas of Practice
- Objection to expedite proceedings
- Appeal for violation of the right to a trial within a reasonable time
- Claim for just satisfaction
- Monetary compensation
- Monitoring the duration of court proceedings
- Representation before competent courts
How We Help
We assess whether the length of your proceedings is unreasonable, taking into account the complexity of the case, the conduct of the parties and the conduct of the court, and propose the appropriate remedy.
We draft the objection to expedite proceedings, the appeal against the decision on the objection and the claim for just satisfaction, and represent you in proceedings for monetary compensation.
How We Work Together
- Case review – we analyse the course and length of the proceedings.
- Objection – we ask the court to speed up the proceedings.
- Appeal – we challenge a decision rejecting the objection.
- Just satisfaction – we claim monetary compensation for the violation of the right.
Good to Know
The right to a trial within a reasonable time applies to court proceedings of all kinds, including enforcement proceedings. The remedies can be used while the proceedings are still pending, so it is important to act in time.
Justice delayed loses part of its value.
