Application no. 3206/06 by Petra VOGA - KUMER against Slovenia

The European Court of Human Rights ( Fifth Section ), sitting on 11 October 2011 as a Committee composed of:

Ganna Yudkivska , President, Boštjan M. Zupančič , Angelika Nußberger , judges, and Stephen Phillips , Deputy Section Registra r ,

Having regard to the above application lodged on 14 December 2005,

Having regard to the Government ’ s settlement proposal made to the applicant,

Having deliberated, decides as follows:

PROC E DURE

The applicant, Ms Petra Voga - Kumer , is a Slovenian national who was born in 1976 and lives in Celje . She was represented before the Court by Ms M. Končan Verstovšek , a lawyer practising in Celje . The Slovenian Government (“the Government ” ) were represented by their Agent .

The applicant was a party to two sets of proceedings. One of them was finally resolved less than three months after the implementation of the 2006 Act on the Protection of the Right to a Trial without Undue Delay (“the 2006 Act”). The applicant complained under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention about the excessive length of proceedings and under Article 13 of the Convention about the lack of an effective domestic remedy in that regard.

A fter the Government had been given notice of the application, they informed the Court that they had made a settlement proposal to the applicant. T he applicant subsequently informed the Court that she had reached a settlement with the State Attorney ’ s Office and that she wished to withdraw her application introduced before the Court.

THE LAW

The Court takes note that following the settlement reached between the parties the matter has been resolved at the domestic level and that the applicant wishes to withdraw her application. It is satisfied that respect for human rights as defined in the Convention or its Protocols does not require the examination of the application to be continued (Article 37 § 1 in fine of the Convention).

In view of the above, it is appropriate to strike the case out of the list in accordance with Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention.

For these reasons, the Court unanimously

Decides to strike the application out of its list of cases.
