The Polish Government (“the Government”) were represented by their Agent, Mrs Justyna Chrzanowska of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The applicant complained under Article 6 of the Convention that he had been denied effective access to court in administrative proceedings. THE LAW On 13 October 2015 the Court received the following declaration signed by the applicant: “I, Piotr Kozłowski, note that the Government of Poland are prepared to pay me, with a view to securing a friendly settlement of the above-mentioned case pending before the European Court of Human Rights, PLN   8,000 (eight thousand Polish zlotys), to cover any and all pecuniary and non ‑ pecuniary damage as well as costs and expenses, plus any tax that may be chargeable to me. This sum will be payable within three months from the date of notification of the decision taken by the Court to strike the case out of its list of cases. From the expiry of the above-mentioned three months until settlement simple interest shall be payable on the above amount at a rate equal to the marginal lending rate of the European Central Bank during the default period plus three percentage points. I accept the proposal and waive any further claims against Poland in respect of the facts giving rise to these applications. I declare that this constitutes a final resolution of the case.”   On 25 November 2015 the Court received the following declaration from the Government: “ I, Justyna Chrzanowska, Agent of the Government, declare that the Government of Poland offer to pay to Piotr Kozłowski, with a view to securing a friendly settlement of the above-mentioned case pending before the European Court of Human Rights PLN   8,000 (eight thousand Polish zlotys) to cover any and all pecuniary and non ‑ pecuniary damage as well as costs and expenses, plus any tax that may be chargeable to the applicant. This sum will be payable within three months from the date of notification of the decision taken by the Court to strike the case out of its list of cases. 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 payment will constitute the final resolution of the case.” 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.   Done in English and notified in writing on 28 January 2016.   Fatoş Aracı   Nona Tsotsoria Deputy Registrar   President
