L.T.
against the Czech Republic
(see appended table)
The European Court of Human Rights (Fifth Section), sitting on 4 December 2025 as a Committee composed of:
Andreas Zünd, President,
Diana Sârcu,
Mykola Gnatovskyy, judges,
and Viktoriya Maradudina, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,
Having regard to the above application lodged on 5 August 2024,
Having regard to the decision not to have the applicant’s name disclosed,
Having regard to the formal declarations accepting a friendly settlement of the case,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The applicant’s details are set out in the appended table.
The applicant was represented by Mr D. Zahumenský, a lawyer practising in Brno.
The applicant’s complaints under Article 6 § 1 alone and in conjunction with Article 14 of the Convention concerning a denial of access to a court for allegedly discriminatory motives were communicated to the Czech Government (“the Government”). The applicant also raised other complaints arising from the same facts.
The Court received the friendly-settlement declarations, signed by the parties, under which the applicant agreed to waive any further claims against the Czech Republic in respect of the facts giving rise to this application, subject to an undertaking by the Government to pay him the amounts detailed in the appended table. These amounts will be converted into the currency of the respondent State at the rate applicable on the date of payment, and will be payable within three months from the date of notification of the Court’s decision. In the event of failure to pay these amounts within the above‑mentioned three-month period, the Government undertake to pay simple interest on them, 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 the Protocols thereto 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 8 January 2026.
