FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The applicant, Ms Lidija Dorolojkova, is a Macedonian national, who was born in 1957 and lives in Valandovo She was represented before the Court by Ms B. Treneska Manojlovska, a lawyer practising in Skopje.
The Macedonian Government (“the Government”) were represented by their Agent, Mr K. Bogdanov.
The applicant complained under Article 6 of the Convention about the length of civil proceedings.
On 10 June 2014 and 25 February 2015 the Court received friendly settlement declarations signed by the parties under which the applicant agreed to waive any further claims against the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia in respect of the facts giving rise to this application against an undertaking by the Government to pay her 1,500 euros to cover any non‑pecuniary damage as well as costs and expenses, which will be converted into Macedonian Denars at the rate applicable on the date of payment, and will be free of any taxes that may be applicable. The sum 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.
Done in English and notified in writing on 30 April 2015.
