FACTS AND PROCEDURE

The applicant, Ms Güner Erayman , a Turkish national, was born in 1969 and lived in Kırklareli .

The applicant ’ s complaints under Articles 6 and 13 of the Convention and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention were communicated to the Turkish Government (“the Government”), who were represented by their Agent.

By a letter dated 24 October 2017, sent by registered post, the applicant was asked to inform the Court by 7 November 2017 whether she would accept the friendly-settlement proposal accepted by the Government. No reply to this letter was received from the applicant.

By a letter dated 21 February 2018, sent by the registered post, the applicant was notified that the period allowed for submission of the declaration duly dated and signed expired on 7 November 2017 and that no extension of time had been requested. The applicant was also asked once again to inform the Court by 21 March 2018 whether she would accept the settlement in question. However, this letter could not be served on the applicant and was returned on 9 March 2018. On the envelope, the post office had recorded that the applicant had died.

By a letter dated 29 March 2018, the Government also informed the Court that the applicant had died on 1 June 2017.

THE LAW

The Court notes that no request has been submitted by the applicant ’ s heirs to pursue the examination of the case. In these circumstances, the Court considers that it is no longer justified to continue the examination of the application within the meaning of Article 37 § 1 (c) of the Convention.

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.

Done in English and notified in writing on 21 June 2018 .
