FACTS AND PROCEDURE

The applicant ’ s details are set out in the appended table.

The applicant was represented by Mr G. Győző , a lawyer practising in Budapest.

The applicant ’ s complaints under Article 2 of the Convention concerning her husband ’ s death in police custody were communicated to the Hungarian Government (“the Government”) .

The Court received the friendly-settlement declaration under which the applicant agreed to waive any further claims against Hungary in respect of the facts giving rise to this application, subject to an undertaking by the Government to pay her the amount detailed in the appended table. This amount will be converted into the currency of the respondent State at the rate applicable on the date of payment, and will be payable within three months from the date of notification of the Court ’ s decision. In the event of failure to pay this amount within the above-mentioned three-month period, the Government undertake to pay simple interest on it, from the expiry of that period until settlement, at a rate equal to the marginal lending rate of the European Central Bank during the default period plus three percentage points.

The payment will constitute the final resolution of the case.

THE LAW

In view of the above, it is appropriate to strike the case out of the list.

For these reasons, the Court, unanimously,

Decides to strike the application out of its list of cases in accordance with Article 39 of the Convention .
