FOURTH SECTION
Application no. 22587/24
UTA LLC
against Georgia
lodged on 5 August 2024
communicated on 26 May 2026
SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE
The case concerns the length of the court proceedings initiated by the applicant company on 4 January 2017, in which it sought compensation for lost profits. After approximately seven years of examination at three levels of jurisdiction, the Supreme Court ultimately rejected the company’s claim on 4 April 2024. The decision was served on the applicant company on 5 April 2024.
The applicant company complains under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention about the excessive length of the proceedings.
QUESTION TO THE PARTIES
Was the length of the judicial proceedings in the present case in breach of the “reasonable time” requirement of Article 6 § 1 of the Convention (see, for instance, Kharitonashvili v. Georgia, no. 41957/04, § 39, 10 February 2009)?
