It was represented before the Court by Mrs I. Rajtáková, a lawyer practising in Košice. The Government of the Slovak Republic (“the Government ” ) were represented by their Agent, Mrs M. Pirošíková. The applicant complained under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention about the length of execution proceedings (file no. Er 1482/00 before the Košice I District Court) which started on 11 February 2000. On 22 November 2007 the Constitutional Court found a violation of the applicant’s right to a hearing within a reasonable time and ordered the court concerned to proceed without undue delays. On 29 September 2009 the Constitutional Court found a violation of the applicant’s right to a hearing within a reasonable time, ordered the court concerned to proceed without undue delays and awarded the applicant 2,000 euros as just satisfaction. On 9 and 17 May 2011 the the Court received friendly settlement declarations signed by the parties under which the applicant agreed to waive any further claims against Slovakia in respect of the facts giving rise to this application against an undertaking by the Government to pay the applicant 3,600 euros to cover any pecuniary and non-pecuniary damage as well as costs and expenses, which would be free of any taxes that may be applicable and payable within three months from the date of notification of the decision taken by the Court pursuant to Article 37 § 1 of the European Convention on Human Rights. 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 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 (Article 37 § 1 in fine of the Convention). 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.
