Danutė Jočienė , President ,

Nona Tsotsoria,

Guido Raimondi, judges

and Françoise Elens-Passos, Deputy Section Registrar ,

Having regard to the application s lodged on the dates indicated in the annex ,

Having regard to the formal declarations accepting a friendly settlement of the case,

Having deliberated, decides as follows:

PROCEDURE

The applicants whose names are listed in the annex are Turkish nationals from Yörükler village of Samsun , Turkey . They are represented before the Court by Mr E. Bora and Mr H. Dereli, lawyers practising in Ankara .

On 4 September 2009 the Court decided to communicate the applicant s ’ complaint concerning the length of civil proceedings under Article 6 of the Convention. The proceedings regarding the ownership of a number of parcels began in 1961. The applicants either became heirs or intervened at different dates. According to the information in the case-file the proceedings are pending in respect of one of the parcels.

On 2 October 2009 and 1 July 2 010 the Court received friendly settlement declarations signed by the parti es by which the applicant s agreed to waive any further claims against Turkey in respect of the facts giving rise to these application s against an undertaking by the Government to pay ex gratia 5,000 (five thousand) euros (EUR) each to Zeynep Yıldırım, Adil Yıldırım, Sami Yıldız and EUR 3,500 (three thousand five hundred) to each of the remaining applicants indicated in the annexed table, together with EUR 3,000 (three thousand) as costs and expenses jointly to their representatives, to cover any pecuniary and non-pecuniary damage as well as costs and expenses, which would be converted into Turkish liras at the rate applicable on the date of payment, and free of any taxes that may be chargeable to the applicants . This sum would be payable within three months from the date of notification of the decision taken by the Court pursuant to Article 37 § 1 of the European Convention on Human Rights. In the event of failure to pay this sum within the said three-month period, the Government undertook 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 would constitute the final resolution of the case s .

On 20 September 2010 the applicants ’ lawyer informed the Court that Mehmet Eroğlu (application no. 34324/06) died on 26 April 2007 and his heirs (see the attached list) wished to pursue the proceedings before the Court. Submitting the authority forms, he added that the applicant ’ s heirs accept to share the amount offered to the deceased applicant for the friendly settlement of the case. The Government did not raise any objections.

THE LAW

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 public policy reasons to justify a continued examination of the application s (Article 37 § 1 in fine of the Convention).

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 strike the application s out of its list of cases.
