FACTS AND PROCEDURE The applicant's details are set out in the appended table.
The applicant was represented by Mr A. Joset, a lawyer practising in Basel.
The applicant's complaints under Article 5 §§ 1 and 5 of the Convention concerning his detention for reasons of public safety ( Sicherheitshaft ) from 1 January until 20 May 2020 (140 days) which had been ordered on the basis of provisions from the Code of Criminal Procedure governing pre-trial detention, applied by analogy, pending a court ruling on a request for an extension of the institutional therapeutic measure ( stationäre
*therapeutische*
*Massnahme*
) imposed on him several years earlier, were communicated to the Swiss Government ("the Government").
The Court received the friendly-settlement declarations, signed by the parties, under which the applicant agreed to waive any further claims against Switzerland in respect of the facts giving rise to this application, subject to an undertaking by the Government to pay him the amounts detailed in the appended table. These amounts will be converted into Swiss francs 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.
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 4 July 2024.
