What is it about?

The European Court of Human Rights (ECrtHR) is struggling with caseload and hundres thousand of repetive cases.That's why it has developed several mechanisms designed to eradicate systemic and structural problems, such as: Quasi-Pilot Judgments, Third Tier Judgments, Simplified Committee Procedure, Grouped Judgments, Joined Judgments, Judgments of Principle, and other methods, concerning mostly effective “Case-Management”. This article presents and analyses these methods used by the ECrtHR in order to eliminate structural and systemic problems and dysfunctions
