Delay of Justice Becomes Actionable

Russia’s President Dmitry Medvedev signed into force a new law allowing individuals to sue for compensation from the state for unreasonable delay in entering or enforcing a judgment in a case related to the individual. The statute was adopted in response to a demand of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), which is overloaded with cases against Russia, including those based on the delay of justice.
