24 lawfulness of said declaration. Due to the fact that these remedies are still pending resolution, the Court shall examine whether the State has complied with the reasonable time and whether the remedies were effective in order to protect the rights of the alleged victim. 78. For the sake of analyzing the reasonable time, the Court shall examine whether the proceedings adjusted to the following criteria: a) complexity of the case, b) procedural activities carried out by the interested party, and c) behavior of judicial authorities.75 79. To such regard, the representatives stated that there is complexity in the proceedings initiated as a consequence of the subjective or full jurisdiction remedies, since such remedies deal with essentially legal issues and have a minimum evidentiary burden. 80. On May 11, 1994, Salvador Chiriboga siblings filed a claim for a subjective remedy, which is in process before the First Chamber of the Court on Administrative matters in and for the city of Quito, case file nº 1016. Such remedy was lodged in order to annul the declaration of public utility,76 based on procedural errors, such as lack of service of notice of the declaration of public utility and discrimination. On December 4, 1995 the First Chamber of the Court defined the complaint.77 As from July 5, 2002, María Salvador Chiriboga has been submitting several briefs requesting a final judgment,78 which has still not happened. 81. On December 17, 1997, Salvador Chiriboga siblings also filed a claim for a subjective remedy, which is in process before the Second Chamber of the Court on Administrative matters in and for the city of Quito, case file Nº 4431. Said remedy was lodged in order to declare the Ministerial Agreement Nº 417,79 issued on December 18, 1997, to be illegal (supra para. 3). On January 14, 1999, after the claim was defined and answered,80 the Second Chamber of the Court ordered discovery.81 Once discovery was over, on May 13, 1999, María Salvador Chiriboga requested the proceedings to be set for trial,82 which was admitted by the Second Chamber of the Court on June 1, 1999.83 75 Cf.
