The list of the applicants is set out in the appendix together with their personal details. The first applicant was represented by Ms B. Paprić, a lawyer practicing in Osijek whereas the remaining two applicants were unrepresented. The Croatian Government (“the Government”) were represented by their Agent, Ms Š. Stažnik. The applicants complained under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention about the excessive length of various proceedings specified in the appendix. On the dates set out in the appendix, the parties signed friendly settlement declarations, under which each applicant agreed to waive any further claims against Croatia in respect of the facts giving rise to his or her application against an undertaking by the Government to pay them the sums set out in the appendix to cover any non-pecuniary damage as well as costs and expenses. The amounts will be converted into Croatian kunas at the rate applicable on the date of payment, and will be free of any taxes that may be applicable. Each sum 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 any of those sums within the said three-month period, the Government undertook to pay simple interest on each unpaid sum, 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 of the relevant sum will constitute the final resolution of each individual case. THE LAW Given that the three applications at hand concern the same facts and complaints and raise identical issues under the Convention, the Court decides to join them, pursuant to Rule 42 § 1 of the Rules of the Court. The Court takes note of the friendly settlements reached between the parties. It is satisfied that the settlements are 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 applications. In view of the above, it is appropriate to strike the cases out of the list. For these reasons, the Court, unanimously, Decides to join the applications; Decides to strike the applications out of its list of cases in accordance with Article 39 of the Convention.   Done in English and notified in writing on 11 June 2015.
