Greece is continuing to record one of the worst performances in the European Union regarding the speed of its judicial system.
In 2024, the total time it took to adjudicate civil, commercial and administrative cases in first instance courts in Greece reached 638 days, compared to just 100 days on average in the EU, according to a new study by the Center for Liberal Studies (KEFIM) think tank.
The picture is particularly problematic in civil and commercial cases, where the resolution time reaches 737 days, as well as in consumer protection cases, which require an average of 1,643 days, or approximately 4.5 years to reach final judgement, says the study titled “An X-ray of Greek Justice According to EU Data.”
