The applicants’ complaints under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention concerning the excessive length of civil proceedings were communicated to the Croatian Government (“the Government”). In some of the applications, complaints based on the same facts were also communicated under other provisions of the Convention. One of the applicants (see appended table below) died after the institution of the proceedings before the Court. Her   heirs   (see below) expressed the wish to pursue the application in her stead. The Government did not object against the locus standi   of the   heirs   in the proceedings. The Court received the friendly-settlement declarations, signed by the parties, under which the applicants agreed to waive any further claims against Croatia in respect of the facts giving rise to these applications, subject to an undertaking by the Government to pay them the amounts detailed in the appended table. These amounts will be converted into the currency of the respondent State at the rate applicable on the date of payment, and will be payable within three months from the date of notification of the Court’s decision. In the event of failure to pay these amounts within the above-mentioned three-month period, the Government undertake to pay simple interest on them, 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 cases. THE LAW Having regard to the similar subject matter of the applications, the Court finds it appropriate to examine them jointly in a single decision. The Court firstly takes note of the information regarding the death of the applicant, Ms Sonja Jakac and the wish of her two   heirs   to continue the proceedings in her stead, as well as of the absence of an objection on the Government’s part to their standing. Therefore, the Court considers that the   heirs   of Ms Jakac, as indicated in the table below, have a legitimate interest in pursuing the application. 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 the Protocols thereto 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; Holds   that the   heirs   of the applicant Ms Sonja Jakac (as indicated in the appended table below) have standing to pursue the application in her stead; 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 10 June 2021.   {signature_p_2}   Viktoriya Maradudina   Alena Poláčková   Acting Deputy Registrar   President APPENDIX List of applications raising complaints under Article   6 § 1 of the Convention (excessive length of civil proceedings) No. Application no.
