FIFTH SECTION
DECISION
Application no. 52086/13
Roman Anatoliyovych MASELKO
against Ukraine
(see appended table)
The European Court of Human Rights (Fifth Section), sitting on 1 June 2023 as a Committee composed of:
Carlo Ranzoni, President,
Lado Chanturia,
María Elósegui, judges,
and Viktoriya Maradudina, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,
Having regard to the above application lodged on 7 August 2013,
Having regard to the observations submitted by the respondent Government,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The applicant’s details are set out in the appended table.
The applicant’s complaints under Article 6 § 1 and Article 13 of the Convention concerning the excessive length of civil proceedings and the lack of any effective remedy in domestic law were communicated to the Ukrainian Government (“the Government”).
THE LAW
The Court, having examined all the materials submitted to it and having regard to its case-law on the subject, considers that the applicant’s complaints under Article 6 of the Convention are inadmissible since the length of the proceedings was not excessive or unreasonable (for further details see the appended table).
In view of the above, the Court finds that these complaints are manifestly ill-founded and must be rejected in accordance with Article 35 §§ 3 and 4 of the Convention.
The applicant also complained under Article 13 of the Convention.
The Court has declared the applicant’s complaints under Article 6 inadmissible. Accordingly, the applicant did not have an “arguable claim” of a violation of a substantive Convention provision and, therefore, Article 13 of the Convention is inapplicable to this part of the application.
It follows that the complaint under Article 13 must also be rejected pursuant to Article 35 §§ 3 (a) and 4 of the Convention.
For these reasons, the Court, unanimously,
Declares the application inadmissible.
Done in English and notified in writing on 22 June 2023.
