4.  The applicant was born in 1971 and lives in Košice. 5.  On 15 March 2002 the applicant lodged an action against her former husband, the municipality of Košice and a third party, challenging the validity of two contracts by which the applicant's former husband had firstly bought an apartment and then sold it to a third party. 6.  On 26 October 2005 the Constitutional Court declared the applicant's complaint about the length of these proceedings inadmissible as being manifestly ill-founded. 7.  On 12 January 2009 she lodged a fresh constitutional complaint. 8.  On 17 March 2009 the Košice II District Court found against the applicant. The applicant appealed. 9.  On 21 October 2009 the Constitutional Court found a violation of the applicant's right to a hearing within a reasonable time. Having regard to the overall length of proceedings, it awarded the applicant 1,000 euros (EUR) as just satisfaction in respect of non-pecuniary damage and ordered the District Court to reimburse the applicant's legal costs. It did not order the District Court to proceed with the case on the ground that that court had already adopted a decision on merits. 10.  On 4 March 2010 the Košice Regional Court quashed the first-instance judgment and remitted the case to the first-instance court. 11.  The District Court adopted a judgment in the applicant's favour on 2 July 2010. One of the defendants appealed and the proceedings are still pending.
