Abstract
The European Court of Human Rights created the Pilot Judgment Procedure to deal with the large portion of repetitive cases on its overburdened docket. In applying the procedure, the Court can focus on the issue, order the state to take general measures and avail itself of the task to address all other similarly situated applicants. Because of that set-up, the Pilot Judgment Procedure has been critiqued to sacrifice applicants' right to access to justice in favour of the Court's procedural efficiency. This doctoral thesis aims to examine this claim: are these viewpoints indeed contradictory or can we serve both interests? To this end, the dissertation questions whether the procedure is indeed efficient and further looks into its impact on the applicant's access to justice. In doing so, this thesis looks at the procedure from the perspective of both the Court itself, as well as the applicants'.
