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 621 published decisions of the court with a known filing year, 61% were issued in the calendar year in which the case was registered, 31% in the following year and 8% two or more years later. For all Czech courts together the shares are 70%, 26% and 4%.

Understanding these figures
What a district court does
A district court (okresní soud) is the court of first instance for most civil disputes: claims for payment, loans and credit, leases, damages, divorce and maintenance. Its decisions can usually be appealed to the regional court for its area. In Prague the district courts are the obvodní soudy, and the Brno Municipal Court (Městský soud v Brně) is the district court of Brno.
What the figures cover
The 7,063 decisions counted for Okresní soud Praha-východ from 2020 to 2025 are those published under its name in the open-data collection of the Czech courts. They are not all of its decisions and do not measure its caseload. For all courts together the collection holds 565,780 decisions over the period, of which this court accounts for 1.2%.
Yearly volumes
Between 2020 and 2025 the yearly number of decisions of Okresní soud Praha-východ ranges from 264 in 2020 to 2,450 in 2021.
