Having regard to the above applications lodged on 19 June 2015,

FACTS AND PROCEDURE

A list of the applications is set out in the appendix.

The Macedonian Government (“the Government”) were represented by their Agent, Mr K. Bogdanov .

The applicant complained under Article 6 of the Convention about the length of three separate sets of civil proceedings.

On 10 June 2016 the Court received friendly settlement declarations signed by the parties under which the applicant agreed to waive any further claims against the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia in respect of the facts giving rise to these applications against an undertaking by the Government to pay the applicant 1,200 (one thousand two hundred) euros to cover any pecuniary and non-pecuniary damage as well as costs and expenses, which will be converted into Macedonian Denars at the rate applicable on the date of payment, and will be free of any taxes that may be applicable, and payable within three months from the date of notification of the decision taken by the Court. The payment will constitute the final resolution of the cases.

THE LAW

The Court takes note that the three applications were lodged by the same applicant. They concerned different sets of facts, which were all subject to the above-mentioned friendly settlement declaration. In these circumstances, the Court finds it appropriate to join the applications. The Court further takes note of the friendly settlement reached between the parties. It is satisfied that the settlement is based on respect for human rights as defined in the Convention and its Protocols and finds no reasons to justify a continued examination of the applications.

In view of the above, the Court finds it appropriate to strike the case s out of the list.

For these reasons, the Court, unanimously,

Decides to join the applications;

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

Done in English and notified in writing on 12 January 2017 .
