FIFTH SECTION
DECISION
Application no.
44314/07
by Sergey Anatolyevich SHEVCHENKO
against Ukraine
The European Court of Human Rights (Fifth Section), sitting on 30 August 2011 as a Committee composed of:
Boštjan
M. Zupančič,
President,
Ganna
Yudkivska,
Angelika
Nußberger,
judges,
and Stephen Phillips,
Deputy Section Registrar,
Having regard to the above application lodged on 28 September 2007,
Having regard to the formal declarations accepting a friendly settlement of the case,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
PROCEDURE
The applicant, Mr Sergey Anatolyevich Shevchenko, is a Ukrainian national who was born in 1971 and lives in Donetsk. The Ukrainian Government (“the Government”) were represented by their Agent, Mrs Valeria Lutkovska, of the Ministry of Justice.
The applicant complained under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention about the length of civil proceedings in his case. He also raised other complaints under Article 13 of the Convention and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1.
On 26 October and 23 November 2010 the Court received friendly settlement declarations signed by the parties under which the applicant agreed to waive any further claims against Ukraine in respect of the facts giving rise to this application against an undertaking by the Government to pay him 200 euros to cover any pecuniary and non-pecuniary damage as well as costs and expenses, which would be converted into Ukrainian hryvnia at the rate applicable on the date of payment, and will be free of any taxes that may be applicable. It will 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 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 its Protocols and finds no reasons to justify a continued examination of the application (Article 37 § 1 in fine of the Convention).
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.
