Overview of the Court’s statistics in 2017 As was the case last year the Court’s statistics for 2017 disclose a higher number of incoming applications allocated to a judicial formation. This can be explained principally by an increase in the number of applications allocated coming from Turkey.

At the same time productivity increased spectacularly mainly due to large groups of applications that were adjudicated in particular concerning a few countries. As a result the Court was able to reduce the number of pending applications.

A. New applications In 2017 63,350 applications were allocated to a judicial formation, an overall increase of 19% compared with 2016 (53,400). 49,400 of these were identified as Single-Judge cases likely to be declared inadmissible (an increase of 36% in relation to 2016). Single judge applications continue to be processed as soon as they are identified as qualifying for such a procedure. 13,950 applications were identified as probable Chamber or Committee cases (a decrease of 18%).

B. Applications disposed of judicially and pending applications 85,951 applications were disposed of judicially, an increase of 123% in relation to 2016 (38,506). The number of cases disposed of exceeded those allocated by more than 22,500. As a result, the stock of allocated applications pending before the Court decreased over the year, by 29% from 79,750 to 56,250.

C. Processing of applications

1. Pre-allocation

As at 31 December 2017 the number of applications pending at this pre-judicial stage stood at 12,600, a decrease of 9% in relation to the same date the previous year (13,800). The number of applications disposed of administratively in 2017 was 22,650, a decrease of 8%. 61% of these files were disposed of for failure to comply with the requirements of Rule 47 of the Rules of Court (contents of an individual application).

2. Inadmissibility or strike out decisions

In 2017 70,356 applications were declared inadmissible or struck out of the list of cases by a Single Judge, a Committee, a Chamber or a Grand Chamber, a 92% increase compared with 2016 (36,579).

The Single-Judge formation decided 66,156 applications in 2017, an increase of 113% compared with 2016 (30,996).

In 2017, 2,282 applications were struck out by a Chamber or a Committee, in a decision, following a friendly settlement or a unilateral declaration, a decrease of 40% (3,772 in 2016). Friendly settlements (1,528) decreased by 24% (2,006 in 2016) and unilateral declarations decreased by 57% (754 compared to 1,766 in 2016). The remainder of the applications were declared inadmissible by a Grand Chamber, Chamber or a Committee or struck out by these formations on other grounds.

3. Communicated applications

In 2017 7,225 applications were communicated (a decrease of 24% compared to 2016 when 9,533 applications were communicated).

4. Judgments

Judgments were delivered in respect of 15,595 applications (compared with 1,927 in 2016 – an increase of 709%). A large proportion of these applications were joined, but the number of


5/60

judgments actually delivered was 1,068, an increase of 8%. 523 judgments (in respect of 2,664 applications) were adopted by a three-judge Committee formation (+ 69% compared to 2016). Committee judgments accounted for 17% of the applications decided by a judgment (50% in 2016). This difference in percentage is explained by the fact that in 2017 the Grand Chamber struck out 12,148 applications in a single judgment.

5. Requests for interim measures (Rule 39 of the Rules of Court)

The total number of decisions on interim measures (1,669) decreased by 28% compared with 2016 (2,313). The Court granted requests for interim measures in 117 cases (a decrease of 10% compared to 130 in 2016) and dismissed them in 533 cases (52% less than the 1,103 in 2016). The remainder fell outside the scope of Rule 39 of the Rules of Court. 70% of the requests granted concern expulsion or immigration cases.

D. Priority policy 1 The essence of this policy is to concentrate more resources on the most important cases, namely the cases falling within the top three categories (“priority applications”). At 31 December 2017 there were 17,860 applications in these categories (a decrease of 10% compared to the beginning of the year).

The number of priority applications dealt with at different stages of the procedure in 2017 decreased by 23% compared to 2016 (5,937 in 2016 and 4,594 in 2017). There are two main reasons for this:

• The first is that more than 6,000 Hungarian conditions of detention applications previously allocated to a priority category were sent to Single Judge after the Court found that Hungary had established a national remedy. These applications were declared inadmissible by a Single Judge and are therefore not counted in the priority productivity.

• The second reason is that the Romanian conditions of detention applications have been processed at a slower pace because of the pending pilot procedure.

36% fewer priority applications were communicated to the respondent Governments in comparison with 2016 (3,972 in 2016 and 2,555 in 2017). The number of priority applications declared inadmissible or struck out of the list of cases by a Chamber or Committee decreased by 15% (1,067 in 2016 and 905 in 2017). The number of priority applications struck out following a friendly settlement or a unilateral declaration decreased from 715 in 2016 to 479 in 2017. Despite the two reasons given above the number of priority applications giving rise to a judgment increased by 26% in 2017 (898 in 2016 and 1,134 in 2017).

E. Conclusion 2017 saw unusual fluctuation in the case-load as a result of a high volume of incoming cases in the first part of the year and a large number of cases disposed of over the last six months. The stock of pending cases which started the year at 79,750 rose to 93,200 in June and then was down to 56,250 by the end of the year. The difference between the figure in January and that at the end of the year is essentially the effect of cases being repatriated to the national system in one form or another (non-exhaustion of a new domestic remedy or strike out in the context of an on-going pilot procedure). The challenge of reducing the backlog of non-repetitive Chamber cases/priority cases remains. In this context the Court and its Registry have introduced new working methods and procedures intended to streamline processing and adjudication of this part of its case-load and will continue to review their approach to these cases in the coming year.

2 Figures represent the total number of applications, including joined applications. The document generally gives round figures. The upsurge in applications allocated in 2002 was due to a change in working methods, transferring much of the screening of inadmissible applications from the administrative, pre-judicial phase to the judicial stage.
