He claimed to be of Algerian nationality. He was represented before the Court by Ms F. Verkerk, a lawyer practising in Amsterdam. The Netherlands Government (“the Government”) were represented by their Deputy Agent, Ms L. Egmond, of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs. The applicant complained under Article 5 § 5 of the Convention that he had not been awarded any compensation following the proceedings examining the lawfulness of his placement in aliens’ detention. By letters of 16 December 2013 and 3 February 2014 the Court received friendly settlement declarations signed by the parties . Under the friendly settlement reached, the applicant agrees to waive any further claims against the Netherlands in respect of the facts giving rise to this application against an undertaking by the Government to pay him 4,500 euros free of any taxes that may be applicable, on the understanding that any costs for the applicant of proceedings before the Court are fully covered by the domestic legal aid scheme. It will be payable within three months from the date of notification of the decision taken by the Court. 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 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 its Protocols 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.   Marialena Tsirli   Alvina Gyulumyan Deputy Registrar   President
