DECISION
Application no. 26524/20
Vasiliki PANAGIARI and Others
against Greece
(see appended table)
The European Court of Human Rights (Third Section), sitting on 6 February 2025 as a Committee composed of:
Oddný Mjöll Arnardóttir, President,
Úna Ní Raifeartaigh,
Mateja Đurović, judges,
and Viktoriya Maradudina, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,
Having regard to the above application lodged on 10 June 2020,
Having regard to the formal declarations accepting a friendly settlement of the case,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The list of applicants is set out in the appended table.
The applicants were represented by Mr V. Chirdaris, a lawyer practising in Athens.
The applicants’ complaints under Article 6 § 1 and Article 13 of the Convention concerning the non-enforcement of domestic decisions and the lack of any effective remedy in domestic law were communicated to the Greek Government (“the Government”).
The Court received the friendly-settlement declaration, signed by the parties, under which the applicants agreed to waive any further claims against Greece in respect of the facts giving rise to this application, subject to an undertaking by the Government to pay them the amounts detailed in the appended table. These amounts 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 6 March 2025.
