DECISION
Application no. 27735/08
Karolina JAGER and others
against Slovenia
The European Court of Human Rights (Fifth Section), sitting on 25 June 2013 as a Committee composed of:
Ann Power-Forde, President,
Boštjan M. Zupančič,
Helena Jäderblom, judges,
and Stephen Phillips, Deputy Section Registrar,
Having regard to the above application lodged on 4 June 2008,
Having regard to the applicants’ withdrawal of the application,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
FACTS AND PROCEDURE
A list of the applicants is set out in the appendix.
The Slovenian Government (“the Government”) were represented by their Agent.
The applicants were party to proceedings which were finally resolved before 1 January 2007, when the 2006 Act on the Protection of the Right to a Trial without Undue Delay became operational. The proceedings subsequently continued before the Constitutional Court. The applicants complained under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention about the excessive length of proceedings and under Article 13 of the Convention about the lack of an effective domestic remedy in that regard. They further also complained under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention about the unfairness of the proceedings.
After the Government had been given notice of the application, they informed the Court that they had made a settlement proposal to the applicants. The applicants subsequently informed the Court that they had reached a settlement with the State Attorney’s Office and that they wished to withdraw their application introduced before the Court.
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 in accordance with Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention.
For these reasons, the Court unanimously
Decides to strike the application out of its list of cases.
