The applicant was represented by Mr A. Demetriades, a lawyer practising in Nicosia. The applicant’s complaints under Article 6 § 1 and Article 13 of the Convention and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention concerning the length of civil proceedings, an effective remedy in that respect and pecuniary damages connected to the above, were communicated to the Cypriot Government (“the Government”). The Court received friendly-settlement declarations, signed by the parties, under which the applicant agreed to waive any further claims against Cyprus in respect of the facts giving rise to this application, subject to an undertaking by the Government to pay him ex gratia the amounts detailed in the appended table. These amounts 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 case. THE LAW The Court takes note of the friendly settlement reached between the parties.
