The applicants were represented by Mr L. Ercan, a lawyer practising in Ankara. The applicants’ complaints under Articles 6 and 13 of the Convention and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention concerning the non ‑ enforcement of domestic decisions were communicated to the Turkish Government (“the Government”). The Court received the friendly-settlement declarations, signed by the parties, under which the applicants agreed to waive any further claims against Türkiye in respect of the facts giving rise to this application, subject to an undertaking by the Government to pay them jointly 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 case before the European Court of Human Rights. THE LAW The Court takes note of the friendly settlement reached between the parties.
