I think @hairyloon will find that the right he is banging on about allows for flexibility and latitude in circumstances such as an international public health emergency.
I'm sure that it does.
But how long were the waiting lists before the pandemic struck?
And given that they have moved onto having hearings by remote via Skype, which is much easier to convene than a physical court, why are they not yet beginning to cut their backlog?
They appear to be getting quicker at answering letters: the last one only took a month.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't see how that would help to address the overall problem.
I think I'll plod on in pursuit of their abuse of Human Rights.
