SECOND SECTION
DECISION
This version was rectified on 15 March 2013
under Rule 81 of the Rules of Court
Application no. 45710/08
Dragoljub ANDRIĆ against Serbia
and 23 other applications
(see list appended)
The European Court of Human Rights (Second Section), sitting on 11 December 2012 as a Committee composed of:
Paulo Pinto de Albuquerque, President,
Dragoljub Popović,
Helen Keller, judges,
and Françoise Elens-Passos, Deputy Section Registrar,
Having regard to the above applications lodged between 15 September 2008 and 5 November 2008,
Having regard to the formal declarations accepting a friendly settlement of the cases,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
THE FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The applicants are Serbian nationals (for additional personal details see the appended table). They are all represented by the same attorney, Ms. Daroslava Todorović, a lawyer practising in Kraljevo. The Serbian Government (“the Government”) were represented by their Agent, Mr S. Carić.
Without invoking any particular provision of the Convention the applicants complained about the respondent State’s failure to enforce final judgments in their favour against different limited liability companies owned by Koncern Fabrika Vagona AD u restruktuiranju, which was, at the relevant time, a company predominantly consisting of socially-owned capital. As of the present date it is predominantly comprised of State-owned capital. The essential information as to the domestic proceedings in respect of each application is indicated in the appended table.
Between 9 November 2011 and 9 December 2011 the Court received friendly settlement declarations signed by the parties under which the applicants agreed to waive any further claims against Serbia in respect of the facts giving rise to these applications against an undertaking by the Government to pay each of them 5,500 (five thousand five hundred) euros to cover any non-pecuniary damage as well as costs and expenses, which will be converted into local currency at the rate applicable on the date of payment, and will be free of any taxes that may be applicable. These sums will be payable within three months from the date of notification of the decision taken by the Court. In the event of failure to pay these sums 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 parties, furthermore, agreed that within the said three-month period the Government will pay, from their own funds, the sums awarded in the domestic decisions under consideration in the present case (see table appended), less any amounts which may have already been paid on the basis of the said decisions, plus the costs of the domestic enforcement proceedings.
These payments will constitute the final resolution of the cases pending before the European Court of Human Rights.
THE LAW
The Court considers that, in accordance with Rule 42 § 1 of the Rules of Court, the applications should be joined, given their similar factual and legal background.
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 applications.
In view of the above, it is appropriate to strike the cases out of the list pursuant to Article 39 of the Convention.
For these reasons, the Court unanimously
Decides to join the applications;
Decides to strike the applications out of its list of cases.
