He was represented by Ms E. Balázsné Mohai, a lawyer practising in Budapest. The applicant’s complaints under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention concerning the excessive length of criminal proceedings were communicated to the Hungarian Government (“the Government”). THE LAW Complaints under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention In the present application, having examined all the material before it, the Court considers that for the reasons stated below, the respondent Government can no more be held liable for the length of the proceedings. In particular, the Court notes that the domestic courts expressly acknowledged the protraction of the proceedings and provided adequate redress by taking this circumstance into account as an important mitigating factor when assessing and fixing the criminal sanction. In view of the above, the Court finds that these complaints are incompatible ratione personae with the provisions of the Convention and must be rejected in accordance with Article   35 §§   3 and   4 of the Convention. For these reasons, the Court, unanimously, Declares the application inadmissible. Done in English and notified in writing on 7 February 2019.   Liv Tigerstedt   Georges Ravarani   Acting Deputy Registrar   President   APPENDIX Application raising complaints under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention (excessive length of criminal proceedings)     Application no.
