FIFTH SECTION
DECISION
Application no. 16729/07
Marija MRAMOR
against Slovenia
The European Court of Human Rights (Fifth Section), sitting on 2 October 2012 as a Committee composed of:
Ann Power-Forde, President,
Boštjan M. Zupančič,
Angelika Nußberger, judges,
and Stephen Phillips, Deputy Section Registrar,
Having regard to the above application lodged on 4 April 2007,
Having regard to the friendly settlement reached between the parties,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
PROCEDURE
The applicant, Ms Marija Mramor, is a Slovenian national, who was born in 1939 and lives in Loče. She was represented before the Court by Mr V. Cugmas, a lawyer practising in Slovenske Konjice.
The Slovenian Government (“the Government”) were represented by their Agent.
The applicant was a party to proceedings which were terminated within the first three months after the Act on the Protection of the Right to a Trial without Undue Delay became operational. The applicant 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.
The Court notes that a settlement was reached between the parties at the domestic level by which the Government acknowledged a violation of the right to a trial within a reasonable time and undertook to pay the applicant compensation with respect to non-pecuniary damages incurred as a result of the unreasonable length of proceeding.
THE LAW
The Court 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 (Article 37 § 1 in fine of the Convention).
In view of the above, it is appropriate to strike the case out of the list in accordance with Article 37 § 1 (b) of the Convention.
For these reasons, the Court unanimously
Decides to strike the application out of its list of cases.
