The applicants’ complaints under Articles 6 § 1 and 13 of the Convention concerning the excessive length of civil proceedings and the lack of a related remedy were communicated to the Hungarian Government (“the Government”). THE LAW Joinder of the applications Having regard to the similar subject matter of the applications, the Court finds it appropriate to examine them jointly in a single decision. Complaints under Article 6 § 1 (excessive length of civil proceedings) and Article 13 (lack of effective remedy) of the Convention In the present applications, having examined all the material before it, the Court considers that for the reasons stated below, the respondent Government cannot be held liable for the protractedness of the proceedings or the absence of a related remedy. In particular, the Court has found that an effective remedy is available in Hungary to provide redress for the excessive length of civil proceedings (see Szaxon v. Hungary (dec.), no. 54421/21, 21 March 2023). However, the applicants have not availed themselves of this legal avenue. Therefore, the Court finds that the complaints under Article 6 § 1 are inadmissible for non-exhaustion of domestic remedies. Furthermore, the related complaint under Article 13 is manifestly ill-founded. It follows that the applications must be rejected in accordance with Article   35 §§ 1, 3 (a) and 4 of the Convention. For these reasons, the Court, unanimously, Decides to join the applications; Declares the applications inadmissible.
