FIRST SECTION

DECISION

Application no. 20005/22 OttÃ³nÃ© GRÃ“B and Others against Hungary

(see appended table)

The European Court of Human Rights (First Section), sitting on 17 May 2023 as a Committee composed of:

Alena PolÃ¡ÄkovÃ¡ , President , Gilberto Felici, Raffaele Sabato , judges ,

and Attila TeplÃ¡n, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,

Having regard to the above application lodged on 12 April 2022,

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

Having deliberated, decides as follows:

FACTS AND PROCEDURE

The list of applicants is set out in the appended table.

The applicants were represented by Mr I. Barbalics, a lawyer practising in Budapest.

The applicantsâ€™ complaints under Article 6 Â§ 1 of the Convention concerning the excessive length of civil proceedings were communicated to the Hungarian Government (â€œthe Governmentâ€).

The Court received the friendly-settlement declaration, signed by the parties, under which the applicants agreed to waive any further claims against Hungary in respect of the facts giving rise to this application, subject to an undertaking by the Government to pay them 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 Courtâ€™s decision. In the event of failure to pay this amount within the above â€‘ 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 8 June 2023.

Attila TeplÃ¡n Alena PolÃ¡ÄkovÃ¡ Acting Deputy Registrar President
