SECOND SECTION
DECISION
Application no. 1/10 Milenko ĆALDOVIĆ against Serbia and 40 other applications (see list appended)
The European Court of Human Rights (Second Section), sitting on 13 November 2012 as a Committee composed of:
Paulo Pinto de Albuquerque , President, Dragoljub Popović , Helen Keller , judges, and Françoise Elens-Passos , Deputy Section Registrar ,
H aving regard to the applications below (see table appended) lodged between 6 November 2009 and 26 February 2010,
Having regard to the formal declarations accepting a friendly settlement of the cases,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
THE FACTS
The applicants are Serbian nationals (for additional personal details see the appended table). They were represented before the Court by Mr M. Jevtović , a lawyer practising in Užice . The Serbian Government (”the Government”) were represented by their Agent, Mr S. Carić .
Relying on Article 6 of the Convention , the applicants complained about the respondent State ’ s failure to fully enforce final court decisions rendered in their favour against the same “socially-owned” company. The essential information as to the domestic proceedings in respect of each application is indicated in the appended table .
Between 5 April 2012 and 25 April 2012 the Court received friendly settlement declarations signed by the parties under which the applicants agreed to waive any further claims against Serbia in respect of the facts giving rise to these applications against an undertaking by the Government to pay each of them the amounts specified in the appended table to cover any non-pecuniary damage as well as costs and expenses, which will be converted into local currency at the rate applicable on the date of payment, and will be free of any taxes that may be applicable. These sums 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 these sums within the said three-month period, the Government undertook to pay simple interest on them, from 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 parties, furthermore, agreed that within the said three-month period the Government will pay, from their own funds, the sums awarded in the domestic decisions under consideration in the present cases (see table appended), less any amounts which may have already been paid on the basis of the said decisions, plus the costs of the domestic enforcement proceedings. These payments will constitute the final resolution of the cases pending before the European Court of Human Rights .
THE LAW
The Court considers that, in accordance with Rule 42 § 1 of the Rules of Court, the applications should be joined, given their similar factual and legal background.
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 cases out of the list pursuant to Article 39 of the Convention.
For these reasons, the Court unanimously
Decides to join the applications;
Decides to strike the applications out of its list of cases.
