FACTS AND PROCEDURE

The applicants are Czech nationals whose names and dates of birth are tabulated below.

The Czech Government (“the Government”) were represented by their Agent, Mr V.A. Schorm , from the Ministry of Justice .

The applicants complain ed under Article 6 of the Convention of the length of the proceedings to which they were or have been parties.

On the dates specified in the Annex the Court received friendly settlement declarations signed by the parties under which the applicants agreed to waive any further claims against the Czech Republic in respect of the facts giving rise to the se applications against an undertaking by the Government to pay them the amounts indicated in the Annex to cover any non-pecuniary damage as well as costs and expenses, which will be converted into Czech crowns at the rate applicable on the date of payment, and will be free of any taxes that may be applicable. They will be payable within three months from the date of notification of the decision taken by the Court. In the event of failure to pay th ose sum s within the said three-month period, the Government undertook to pay simple interest on them , 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 cases.

THE LAW

Having regard to the similarity of the main issues under the Convention in the above cases, the Court decides to join the applications and examine them in a single decision.

The Court 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, it is 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.
