FIRST SECTION
DECISION
Application no. 53046/13
Elmura MUSAYEVA
against Azerbaijan
The European Court of Human Rights (First Section), sitting on 22 September 2015 as a Committee composed of:
Julia Laffranque, President,
Khanlar Hajiyev,
Dmitry Dedov, judges,
and André Wampach, Deputy Section Registrar,
Having regard to the above application lodged on 26 July 2013,
Having regard to the formal declarations accepting a friendly settlement of the case,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The applicant, Ms Elmura Musayeva, is an Azerbaijani national, who was born in 1958 and lives in Baku. She was represented before the Court by Mr S. Guliyev, a lawyer practising in Azerbaijan.
The Azerbaijani Government (“the Government”) were represented by their Agent, Mr Ç. Asgarov.
The applicant complained under Article 6 of the Convention about the non-enforcement of domestic judgment in her favour and under Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention about the violation of her rights to peaceful enjoyment of her possessions as a result of non-enforcement of the judgment.
On 22 June 2015 and 8 July 2015 the Court received friendly settlement declarations signed by the parties under which the applicant agreed to waive any further claims against Azerbaijan in respect of the facts giving rise to this application against an undertaking by the Government to enforce the judgement delivered in the applicant’s favour and to pay her 3,909 euros to cover any pecuniary and non-pecuniary damage as well as costs and expenses, which will be converted into Azerbaijani manats 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.
Done in English and notified in writing on 15 October 2015.
