SECOND SECTION

DECISION

Application no. 54355/15 Jiří PETR against the Czech Republic

(see appended table)

The European Court of Human Rights (Second Section), sitting on 21 October 2021 as a Committee composed of:

Branko Lubarda, President, Pauliine Koskelo, Marko Bošnjak, judges,

and Viktoriya Maradudina, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,

Having regard to the above application lodged on 26 October 2015,

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

Having deliberated, decides as follows:

FACTS AND PROCEDURE

The details of the applicant, a Czech national, are set out in the appended table.

The applicant’s complaints under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention, read alone and together with Article 13 of the Convention, concerning the excessive length of criminal proceedings and the lack of any effective remedy in domestic law, were communicated to the Czech Government (“the Government”).

The Court received the friendly-settlement declarations, signed by the parties, under which the applicant agreed to waive any further claims against the Czech Republic in respect of the facts giving rise to this application, subject to an undertaking by the Government to pay him the amount detailed in the appended table. This amount will be converted into the currency of the respondent State at the rate applicable on the date of payment and will be payable within three months from the date of notification of the Court’s decision. In the event of failure to pay this amount within the above-mentioned three-month period, the Government undertake 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 will constitute the final resolution of the case.

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 the Protocols thereto and finds no reasons to justify a continued examination of the application.

In view of the above, it is appropriate to strike the case out of the list.

For these reasons, the Court, unanimously,

Decides to strike the application out of its list of cases in accordance with Article 39 of the Convention.

Done in English and notified in writing on 18 November 2021.
