Supreme Court dismisses delay complaint regarding appellate court's ruling overturning first-instance judgment.

The Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's complaint regarding procedural delay, ruling that the appellate court's decision to overturn the first-instance judgment falls outside the scope of delay assessment. The court held that evaluating the correctness of such a ruling would violate judicial independence and exceed the limits of appellate control. Consequently, the complaint was rejected in part concerning the appellate proceedings while the first-instance portion was remitted.
