The concept of reasonable length in the processing of requests, viewed from the perspective of the case law of the European Court of Human Rights, the most frequent reasons for delays in the court proceedings, preventive and compensatory mechanisms in cases of the lengthy proceedings, and the European human rights standards on the reasonable length of the proceedings, were just some of the topics discussed at the workshop.
