Overview of the Court’s statistics in 2012

A. Number of new applications

In 2012 65,150 applications were allocated to a judicial formation, an overall increase of

1% compared with 2011 (64,400). 48,350 of these were identified as Single-Judge cases

likely to be declared inadmissible (an increase of 1% in relation to 2011). 16,800 were

identified as Chamber or Committee1 cases (an increase of 3%).

B. Applications disposed of judicially and pending applications

87,879 applications were disposed of judicially, an increase of 68% in relation to 2011

(52,188). The number of cases disposed of therefore exceeded those allocated by

approximately 22,700 (i.e. a monthly surplus of almost 1,900). As a result, and for the

first time since 1998, the stock of allocated applications pending before the Court

decreased over the year, by 16% from 151,600 to 128,100.

C. Processing of applications

1. Pre-allocation

Before a case is allocated to a judicial formation applicants are required to complete the

application form and submit the necessary supporting documents on pain of

administrative disposal. As at 31 December 2012 the number of applications pending at

this pre-judicial stage stood at 20,300, a decrease of 10% in relation to the same date

the previous year (22,600). The number of applications disposed of administratively in

2012 was 18,700, an increase of 39%.

2. Inadmissibility or strike out decisions

In 2012 86,201 applications were declared inadmissible or struck out of the list of cases

by a Single Judge, a Committee or a Chamber, a 70% increase compared with 2011

(50,677). The Single-Judge formation decided 81,764 cases in 2012, an increase of 74%

compared with 2011 (46,930). This increase is due to the introduction of new working

methods and to the fact that in 2012 more judges were appointed Single Judges. The

number of applications struck out, in a decision or a judgment, following a friendly

settlement or a unilateral declaration, increased by 25% in 2012 (1,532 in 2011).

Friendly settlements increased by 57%, but there were 14% fewer unilateral

declarations.

3. Communicated applications

Where an application is not on its face inadmissible, it is communicated to the

respondent Government. In 2012 5,238 applications were communicated (a decrease of

2% in relation to 2011 when 5,360 applications were communicated). This decrease can

be explained by efforts to concentrate on more time-consuming priority applications, a

higher number of which were communicated to the governments (see D. below).

1 Committee competence provided for in Article 28 § 1 b) of the Convention.


4. Judgments

Judgments were delivered in respect of 1,678 applications (compared with 1,511 in 2011

– an increase of 11%). A significant proportion of these applications were joined with the

result that the number of judgments actually delivered was 1,093, a decrease of 6%. 206

judgments were adopted by a three-judge Committee formation under the new

procedure introduced by Protocol 14.

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

The total number of decisions on interim measures (1,973) decreased by 29% compared

with 2011 (2,782). The Court granted requests for interim measures in 103 cases (a

decrease of 70% compared with 342 in 2011) and dismissed them in 1,203 cases (33%

less than the 1,807 in 2011). The remainder fell outside the scope of Rule 39 of the Rules

of Court.

D. Priority policy2

In June 2009 the Court adopted a priority policy establishing seven different categories.

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 2012 there were 6,568 applications in these categories.

The number of priority applications dealt with in 2012 increased by 30% compared to

2011. 16% more priority applications were communicated to the respondent

Governments in comparison with 2011. The number of priority applications declared

inadmissible or struck out of the list of cases by a Chamber or Committee increased by

61%. The number of priority applications struck out following a friendly settlement or a

unilateral declaration rose from 146 in 2011 to 158 in 2012. The number of priority

applications giving rise to a judgment increased by 33% in 2012 and represented 33% of

the total number of applications dealt with by judgments in 2012 (compared to 27% in

2011).

3 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.
