From filing to decision
The case number of a decision carries the year in which the case was registered with the court. The gap is the difference, in calendar years, between that year and the year of the decision: a case registered in December and decided in January has a gap of one year. It is not a duration in months.
In 2025, of the 587 published decisions of the court with a known filing year, 32% were issued in the calendar year in which the case was registered, 38% in the following year and 30% two or more years later. For all Czech courts together the shares are 70%, 26% and 4%.
