Alena Poláčková, President, Dmitry Dedov, Gilberto Felici, judges,

and Liv Tigerstedt, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,

Having regard to the above application lodged on 30 November 2011,

Having regard to the formal declarations accepting a friendly settlement of the case,

Having deliberated, decides as follows:

FACTS AND PROCEDURE

The applicant, Mr Vladimir Yuryevich Ilyin, was born in 1962.

The applicant’s complaints under Article 6 of the Convention concerning his absence from the appeal hearing in his trial were communicated to the Russian Government (“the Government”).

The Court received a friendly-settlement declaration under which the applicant agreed to waive any further claims against Russia in respect of the facts giving rise to this application, subject to an undertaking by the Government to pay him ex gratia 3,000 euros, plus any tax that may be chargeable to him on that amount. This amount 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 this amount within the above-mentioned three-month period, the Government undertake to pay simple interest on it, 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. 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 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 16 July 2020.
