Zupančič and Others v. Slovenia

FIFTH SECTION

Application no. 1110/07 Janko ZUPANČIČ and others against Slovenia

The European Court of Human Rights (Fifth Section), sitting on 5 March 2013 as a Committee composed of:

Ann Power-Forde, President, Boštjan M. Zupančič, Helena Jäderblom, judges and Stephen Phillips, Deputy Section Registrar,

Having regard to the above application lodged on 20 December 2006,

Having regard to the applicants’ withdrawal of the application,

Having deliberated, decides as follows:

FACTS AND PROCEDURE

A list of the applicants is set out in the appendix.

The Slovenian Government (“the Government”) were represented by their Agent.

The applicants complained under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention about the excessive length of proceedings and under Article 13 of the Convention about the lack of an effective domestic remedy in that regard.

After the Government had been given notice of the application, they informed the Court that the applicants had received compensation in domestic proceedings. The applicants subsequently informed the Court that they wished to withdraw their application introduced before the Court.

THE LAW

The Court takes note that the matter has been resolved at the domestic level and that the applicants wish to withdraw their application. It is satisfied that respect for human rights as defined in the Convention or its Protocols does not require the examination of the application to be continued (Article 37 § 1 in fine of the Convention).

In view of the above, it is appropriate to strike the case out of the list in accordance with Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention.

For these reasons, the Court unanimously

Decides to strike the application out of its list of cases.
