Poland (application no. 26757/95)   Struck Out   Robert Wójcik, a Polish national, claimed that the length of the criminal proceedings against him was excessive, in breach of Article 6 § 1 (right to a fair trial) of the European Convention on Human Rights. He also complained, under Article 5 (right to liberty and security) of the Convention, of the length of his pre-trial detention and that the proceedings concerning the review of the lawfulness of his detention on remand were not adversarial.   The European Court of Human Rights noted that the applicant had repeatedly failed to respond to its letters addressed to him and that it had before it a number of pending Polish cases raising similar issues. It therefore decided unanimously to strike the case out of the list. (The judgment is available only in English.)   ***   The Court’s judgments are accessible on its Internet site (http://www.echr.coe.int).   Registry of the European Court of Human Rights F - 67075 Strasbourg Cedex Contacts:   Roderick Liddell (telephone: (0)3 88 41 24 92) Or:     Emma Hellyer (telephone: (0)3 90 21 42 15) Fax:     (0)3 88 41 27 91   The European Court of Human Rights was set up in 1959 in Strasbourg to deal with alleged violations of the 1950 European Convention on Human Rights.   On 1 November 1998 a full-time Court was established, replacing the original two-tier system of a part-time Commission and Court.
