4.  The applicant was born in 1951 and lives in Pécs. 5.  On 4 September 1998 the Nagyszokoly Municipality brought an action against the applicant before the Tamási District Court, seeking the annulment of a real estate sales contract. The District Court held several hearings and obtained the opinion of two experts. 6.  On 29 May 2000 the court discontinued the proceedings and transferred the case to the Tolna County Regional Court, because the increased value of the applicant’s counterclaims brought the dispute within the jurisdiction of that court. 7.  After two hearings, on 5 October 2000 the Regional Court found for the plaintiff. On 2 November 2000 the applicant appealed. 8.  On 15 October 2002 the Supreme Court’s appeal bench upheld the Regional Court’s judgment. This decision was only served on the applicant on 18 July 2003. On 19 November 2003 she submitted a petition for review. 9.  On 1 September 2004 the Supreme Court’s review bench dismissed as inadmissible the applicant’s petition for review as being incompatible ratione materiae with the relevant requirements of the Code of Civil Procedure. It applied section 270(2) of the Code of Civil Procedure, as in force at the material time, according to which a review of the substantive unlawfulness of final decisions was only admissible if it was considered necessary for the harmonisation or development of the application of the law.
