Final Resolution CM/ResDH(2015)248
Execution of the judgments of the European Court of Human Rights
205 cases against Poland

(Adopted by the Committee of Ministers on 9 December 2015
at the 1243rd meeting of the Ministers’ Deputies)

The Committee of Ministers, under the terms of former Article 32 and those of Article 46, paragraph 2, of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (hereinafter “the Convention”),

Having regard to its decision adopted under former Article 32 of the Convention and to the final judgments transmitted by the Court to the Committee in these cases and the violations of Article 6 concerning the excessive length of civil and criminal proceedings, and Article 13 concerning the absence of an effective remedy in that regard;

Recalling the obligation of the respondent State to abide by the decisions adopted under former Article 32 of the Convention as well as its obligation, under Article 46, paragraph 1, of the Convention, to abide by all final judgments in cases to which it has been a party; recalling also that these obligations entail, over and above the payment of any sums awarded by the Committee or by the Court, the adoption by the authorities of the respondent State, where required:

-       of individual measures to put an end to violations established and erase their consequences so as to achieve as far as possible restitutio in integrum; and

-       of general measures preventing similar violations;

Noting that in the cases listed in the annex the just satisfaction has been paid and the domestic proceedings have concluded;

Noting that a wide range of legislative and organisational measures have been adopted by the authorities since 2007 to combat the excessive length of judicial proceedings;

Having noted that the facts of the cases listed in the annex occurred in the absence of any remedy, recalling that a remedy to complain against the excessive length of proceedings was introduced in 2004 and reformed in 2009 and that, in its pilot-judgment in the case of Rutkowski and others (72287/10), the European Court confirmed that this remedy had all the features of an effective remedy in law, revealing only some lacunae in its functioning in practice;

Noting that the Committee will continue to supervise the measures to reduce the length of proceedings and secure improvements in the functioning of the remedy in the framework of other groups of cases (the Bąk group concerning criminal proceedings and the Majewski group concerning civil proceedings);

Noting finally that the violation of Article 5 paragraph 3 in the case of Kudła presents similarities with those found in the group Trzaska, closed by final resolution CM/ResDH(2014)268, and that the violation of Article 8 in the case of H.N. presents similarities to those found in the case of Pawlik and other similar cases, closed by Final Resolution CM/ResDH(2014)295;

DECLARES that it has exercised its functions under former Article 32 and under Article 46, paragraph 2, of the Convention in the cases listed below,

DECIDES to close the examination thereof.
