FOURTH SECTION
DECISION
Application no. 2574/21 Georgi Hristov CHIVCHIBASHIEV against Bulgaria and 3 other applications
(see appended table)
The European Court of Human Rights (Fourth Section), sitting on 2 June 2022 as a Committee composed of:
Armen Harutyunyan, President , Jolien Schukking, Ana Maria Guerra Martins, judges , and Viktoriya Maradudina, Acting Deputy Section Registrar ,
Having regard to the applications lodged on the various dates indicated in the appended table,
Having regard to the declarations accepting a friendly settlement of the cases,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The list of the applicants and their representatives is set out in the appended table.
The Bulgarian Government (“the Government”) were given notice of the applicants’ complaints under Article 3 of the Convention concerning the allegedly inhuman and degrading conditions of their detention.
The Court received friendly-settlement declarations, signed by the parties, under which the applicants agreed to waive any further claims against Bulgaria in respect of the facts giving rise to these applications, subject to an undertaking by the Government to pay them the amounts set out in the appended table. These amounts would be converted into the currency of the respondent State at the rate applicable on the date of payment, and would be payable within three months from the date of notification of the Court’s decision. In the event of a failure to pay the amounts within that 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 parties agreed that such payment would constitute the final resolution of the cases.
THE LAW
In view of the similar subject-matter of the applications, it is appropriate to examine them jointly in a single decision.
The Court takes note of the friendly settlements reached between the parties. It is satisfied that those settlements are based on respect for human rights as defined in the Convention and the Protocols thereto, and finds no reasons to justify the continued examination of the applications.
It is hence appropriate to strike the cases out of the Court’s 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 § 3 of the Convention.
Done in English and notified in writing on 23 June 2022.
Viktoriya Maradudina Armen Harutyunyan Acting Deputy Registrar President
