The Supreme Court dismissed the applicant's complaint regarding the excessive length of proceedings before the Court of Appeal in Gdańsk. The applicant argued that the court failed to set a hearing date for over a year, causing significant delay. However, the court ruled that the proceedings were already concluded with a final judgment on December 6, 2005, before the Supreme Court could even hear the complaint. Consequently, the court determined that issuing a decision on the delay was unnecessary and the complaint was without subject matter.
