PROCEDURE
The
application was lodged by Ms Ifeta Tutić, a Serbian national who
was born in 1964 and lives in Novi Pazar. She was represented before
the Court by Ms R. Garibović, a lawyer practising in Novi Pazar.
The Serbian Government (“the Government”) were
represented by their Agent,
Mr S. Carić.
The
applicant complained under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention about
the non-enforcement of a final domestic judgment rendered on
3
December 2003 against a “socially owned enterprise”
(društveno preduzeće).
On 24 September 2009 and 19 March 2010 the Court received friendly settlement declarations signed by the parties under which the applicant agreed to waive any further claims against the Serbia in respect of the facts giving rise to this application against an undertaking by the Government to pay her EUR 1,900 (one thousand nine hundred euros) to cover any non-pecuniary damage as well as costs and expenses, which will be converted into domestic currency 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 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 undertake 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 parties, furthermore, agreed that within the same three months period the Government will pay, from their own funds, the sums awarded to the applicant in the final domestic judgment of 3 December 2003.
These payments 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 public policy 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.
