Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the complaint was inadmissible or time-barred because no violation of the right to a decision within a reasonable time was shown.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. Although the Federal Administrative Court took nearly three years, the appellant had not prompted it to expedite the case and could not rely on a delay complaint.
Extrahierte Begründung
The reasonableness of duration depends on the case's complexity, the parties' conduct, and the stakes. A litigant must take steps to speed up the proceedings; here the appellant remained inactive for a long period.
