They were represented by Mr   V.   Litvinenko, a lawyer practising in Kostyantynivka. The Ukrainian Government (“the Government”) were represented by Mr N. Kulchytskyy, of the Ministry of Justice. The applicants are former employees of the State-owned company “Avtosklo”. On the dates specified in the annexed table the Kostyantynivka Court and the company’s labour dispute commission issued decisions ordering the company to pay the applicants various work-related sums. Some of the court decisions also provided for the company’s obligation to pay the applicants compensation for any delay in payment of the awarded sums. The decisions became final but have remained unenforced. COMPLAINTS Relying on Articles 6 and 13 of the Convention and Article 1 of Protocol   No 1, the applicants complained about the delayed non-enforcement of the decisions in their favour. 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 the unilateral declaration with a view to settling the applicants’ cases. By the declaration, the Government acknowledged the excessive duration of the enforcement of the applicants’ decisions and declared that they were ready to pay to the applicants the outstanding amounts under the decisions and also the compensation sums specified in the annexed table. 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 declaration provided that the proposed sums were to cover the debtor company’s obligation to pay compensation for late payment under the court decisions and also 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. The proposed sums 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’ representative expressed the agreement with the terms of the Government’s declaration. 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 declaration, 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 declaration 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   APPENDIX   No
