The Ukrainian Government (“the Government”) were represented by their Agent, Ms V. Lutkovska, of the Ministry of Justice. In the application no.11866/08 the applicant died on 19 June 2010 and her heir, Mrs M. Yakunina, expressed her wish to pursue the application. On various dates domestic courts delivered judgments in the applicants’ cases and ordered the domestic authorities to pay them certain amounts. The judgments became final, but the authorities delayed their enforcement. COMPLAINTS Relying on various provisions of the Convention, the applicants complained about the delayed enforcement of the judgments given in their favour. Some of the applicants also raised other complaints under the Convention. THE LAW 1.     The Court considers that, in accordance with Rule 42 § 1 of the Rules of Court, the applications should be joined, given their common factual and legal background. 2.     The Government submitted several unilateral declarations with a view to settling the applicants’ cases. By the declarations, the Government acknowledged the excessive duration of the enforcement of the applicants’ judgments and declared that they were ready to pay to the applicants the outstanding judgement debts and the compensation sums specified in the annexed table. In some declarations the Government referred to the ex   gratia principle of such payment. The Government invited the Court to strike the applications out of the list of cases pursuant to Article 37 § 1 (c) of the Convention. The declarations also provided that the compensation sums were to cover any pecuniary and non-pecuniary damage as well as costs and expenses, would be free of any taxes that may be applicable and would be converted into the national currency of the respondent State at the rate applicable at the date of settlement. They would be payable within three months from the date of notification of the decision taken by the Court pursuant to Article   37   § 1 (c) of the Convention. In the event of failure to pay these sums within the said three-month period, the Government undertook to pay simple interest on them 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 applicants expressed their agreement with the terms of the Government’s declarations, though some of them questioned the Government’s compliance. The Court reiterates that Article 37 of the Convention provides that it may at any stage of the proceedings decide to strike an application out of its list of cases where the circumstances lead to one of the conclusions specified in paragraph 1 (a), (b) or (c) of that Article. Article 37 § 1 in fine states: “However, the Court shall continue the examination of the application if respect for human rights as defined in the Convention and the protocols thereto so requires.” In the light of the applicants’ agreement with the Government’s declarations, the Court considers that Article 37 § 1 (b) is relevant in the present cases. This is in line with the Yuriy Nikolayevich Ivanov pilot judgment (cited above, § 99 and point 6 of the operative part) and the Court finds no public policy reasons to justify the continued examination. For these reasons, the Court unanimously Decides to join the applications; Takes note of the terms of the respondent Government’s unilateral declarations and the applicants’ comments thereon; Decides to strike the applications out of its list of cases in accordance with Article 37 § 1 (b) of the Convention.   Stephen Phillips   Mark Villiger   Deputy Registrar   President         ANNEX   No. Application number Applicant’s name, year of birth Date of introduction Domestic judgments about the lengthy non-enforcement of which the applicants complain (date of the judgment and name of the court) Date of the Government’s unilateral declaration Compensation offered by the Government (euro)   26678/07 ROMAN VLADIMIR FEDOROVICH, 1942 17 May 2007 31 July 2006, Krasnyy Luch Court 12 January 2012 960   45765/07   GORBATYUK ALLA SEMENIVNA, 1954 2 October 2007 24 November 2005, Oleksandriya Court 07 November 2011 840   47091/07 SOLONKIN PETR MIKHAYLOVICH, 1934 19 October 2007 3 October 2001, Krasnyy Luch Court 12 January 2012 1,785   49278/07 ZINCHENKO YURIY IVANOVICH, 1958 30 October 2007 3 May 2006, Krasnyy Luch Court 12 July /2011 915   787/08 TISHCHENKO SVETLANA NIKOLAYEVNA, 1956 5 December 2007 25 August2005, Ovruch Court 17 January 2012 825   2423/08 BLASCHUK VIKTOR ILLICH, 1958 17 December 2008 9 August 2002, Odesa Harrison Court 28 May 2005 1,380   11866/08 PANINA NATALIYA GRIGORYEVNA, 1924 21 January 2008 24 September 2002, Krasnyy Luch Court 9 December 2011 1, 635   21339/08 KRAVTSOV VOLODYMYR ILLICH, 1952 1 April 2008 7 November 2005, Oleksandriya Court 7 November 2011 840   48951/08 BARANOVSKA GALYNA IVANIVNA, 1961 26 September 2008 13 September 2005, Ovruch Court 9 December 2011 1,035   51462/08 VASYUTA VIKTOR BORISOVICH, 1952 26 August 2008 5 June 2006, Artzysk Court (quashed by the Higher Administrative Court on 28 April 2010) 28 October 2011 630   61676/08 1.
