ABSTRACT
Despite several reminders the applicant had shown no interest in the proceedings before the Court. That was an implied withdrawal which constituted a ‘fact of a kind to provide a solution of the matter’. The Court discerned no reason of public policy for continuing the proceedings. It noted its case-law on the question of ‘reasonableness’ of the length of civil proceedings in various Contracting States, including Italy.
