SECOND SECTION
DECISION
Application no. 30281/06
Kamber ÇINAR
against Turkey
The European Court of Human Rights (Second Section), sitting on 2 October 2012 as a Committee composed of:
Dragoljub Popović, President,
András Sajó,
Paulo Pinto de Albuquerque, judges,
and Françoise Elens-Passos, Deputy Section Registrar,
Having regard to the above application lodged on 18 July 2006,
Having regard to the formal declarations accepting a friendly settlement of the case,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The applicant, Mr Kamber Çınar, is a Turkish national, who was born in 1936 and lives in Izmir. He was represented before the Court by Mr G. Dinç and Mr A. Demir, lawyers practising in Izmir.
The Turkish Government (“the Government”) were represented by their Agent.
The applicant complained under Articles 6 of the Convention and 1 of Protocol No. 1 about the late payment of compensation for the expropriation of his property.
On 19 March 2012 and 16 May 2012 the Court received friendly settlement declarations signed by the parties under which the applicant agreed to waive any further claims against Turkey in respect of the facts giving rise to this application against an undertaking by the Government to pay him EUR 2,900 (two thousand and nine hundred euros) to cover any pecuniary and non-pecuniary damage as well as costs and expenses, which will be converted into Turkish liras 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. 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 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 its Protocols 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.
