Summary/Abstract: The idea on a hearing within reasonable time implies the necessity to achieve balance between expeditious and fair hearing. The right to a hearing within reasonable time as a part of the right to a fair hearing is provided by the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, Article 6, paragraph 1. The Court makes an assessment of the duration of a hearing since the date the specific state became a member of the Convention, or since the day its citizens could address the Court concerning the alleged violations of the Convention. However, in assessing how reasonable is the time for a hearing the Court will take into account the progress made before the domestic court prior to that date.
