Trial Within a Reasonable Time
Remedies when court proceedings drag on for years: speeding up the case and monetary compensation.
Proceedings that last for years cause harm in themselves, whatever the outcome. The law gives parties concrete tools to respond, and I use them.
I help parties speed up their case and obtain just satisfaction when the right to a trial within a reasonable time has been breached.
What it covers
- 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 I work
I assess whether the proceedings are really unjustifiably long, taking into account the complexity of the case and the court's conduct. Then I file an objection to expedite, an appeal if the objection fails, and a claim for monetary compensation.
Worth knowing
An objection to expedite is filed while the case is still running. The goal is not only compensation but for the case to get priority and finally be decided.
Justice delayed for years stops being justice.
