4. The applicant was born in 1951 and lives in Budapest. 5. On 10 September 1992 the applicant brought an action against several respondents before the Budapest XX/XXI/XXIII District Court, requesting it to establish the invalidity of a contract and to order the respondents to vacate the house in which they lived. 6. Subsequently, several hearings took place and the opinion of an expert was obtained. Between 4 February 1997 and 20 May 1999 the case was suspended pending a related procedure before the land registry. 7. After several further hearings, on 30 June 2004 the District Court dismissed the action. On appeal, the Budapest Regional Court upheld the essence of the first-instance decision on 13 April 2005. On 4 April 2006 the Supreme Court dismissed the applicant’s petition for review.
