Key legal question
Whether the complaint about the 20-month duration of the cantonal proceedings warranted relief
Extracted holding
The delay complaint was not examined in detail and, insofar as admissible, was unfounded because no timely denial-of-justice appeal had been filed and no concrete prejudice was shown.
Extracted reasoning
After the cantonal judgment, the allegation of delay lacked present relevance; the appellant also failed to substantiate an actual harm attributable to the delay.
