Članak 6., stavak 1. Europske konvencije za zaštitu ljudskih prava i temeljnih sloboda, odnosi se i na pravo na pošteno suđenje u razumnom roku te je jedno od najznačajnijih prava koje se štiti Konvencijom. Zbog njegove velike važnosti, najčešći je predmet postupaka koji se vode pred Sudom pa je i razvijena opsežna praksa u tumačenju ovoga prava. Pravo na pošteno suđenje u građanskim predmetima, prema članku 6., stavku 1. Konvencije odnosi se na načelo nezavisnosti i nepristranosti sudova, pravo na pošteno suđenje u razumnom roku, pravo na pristup sudu i načelo jednakosti oružja (ravnopravnost stranaka). Da bi se utvrdilo je li došlo do povrede prava na pošteno suđenje u razumnom roku, odnosno, je li došlo do povrede duljine trajanja postupka, Sud uzima u obzir sljedeće kriterije: složenost predmeta, ponašanje nadležnih vlasti i ponašanje stranaka te važnost predmeta spora.Article 6 Paragraph 1 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, also refers to the right to a fair trial within the reasonable time, one of the most important rights that are protected by the Convention.
