Questão jurídica principal
Whether the Federal Administrative Court committed a denial or undue delay of justice by not deciding a ripe case within a reasonable time.
Decisão extraída
Yes. The case had been ripe for decision for more than a year without sufficient justification for the inactivity.
Fundamentação extraída
The court had a duty under the constitutional right to a decision within a reasonable time. Chronic workload and priority-setting do not excuse prolonged inactivity where no concrete reason for delay is shown and the matter is not especially complex.
