Abstract(s)
The right to a fair trial ensures an important respect for the rule of
law. Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights is a cluster right,
which enshrines fundamental guarantees. In weighing about a possible violation
of Article 6 by the Contracting States, the European Court of Human Rights
has adhered to the doctrine of the national margin of appreciation. On the other
hand, the Court has also held that the violation of this rule must be examined on
a casuistic basis, which meets the particular process in question. The Portuguese
state has been frequently condemned by justice delays. This situation can be
interpreted as a call for urgent political and legislative changes to improve the Portuguese procedural law, coating it with greater promptitude.
