SECOND SECTION
DECISION
Application no. 39534/10 Muhsin DEMİR against Turkey and 30 other applications (see list appended)
The European Court of Human Rights (Second Section), sitting on 21 November 2017 as a Committee composed of:
Nebojša Vučinić, President, Valeriu Griţco, Jon Fridrik Kjølbro, judges, and Hasan Bakırcı, Deputy Section Registrar ,
Having regard to the above applications lodged on the various dates indicated in the appended table ,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The applicants, whose names appear in the appendix, are Turkish nationals and live in Kütahya. They were represented before the Court by Mr S. Kartal, a lawyer practising in Kütahya.
The Turkish Government (“the Government”) were represented by their Agent.
The applicants ’ complaints under Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 were communicated to the Government, who submitted their observations on the admissibility and merits. The observations were forwarded to the applicants ’ representative, who was invited to submit the applicants ’ observations together with any claims for just satisfaction by 3 May 2017. No reply was received to the Registry ’ s letter.
By letter dated 11 August 2017, sent by registered post, the applicants ’ representative was notified that the period allowed for submission of their observations had expired on 3 May 2017 and that no extension of time had been requested. The applicants ’ representative ’ s attention was drawn to Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention, which provides that the Court may strike a case out of its list of cases where the circumstances lead to the conclusion that the applicant does not intend to pursue the application. The applicant ’ s representative received this letter on 21 August 2017. However, no response has been received to date.
THE LAW
Having regard to the similar subject matter of the applications, the Court finds it appropriate to examine them jointly in a single decision.
The Court considers that, in these circumstances, the applicants may be regarded as no longer wishing to pursue their applications, within the meaning of Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention. Furthermore, in accordance with Article 37 § 1 in fine , the Court finds no special circumstances regarding respect for human rights as defined in the Convention and its Protocols which require the continued examination of the cases.
In view of the above, it is appropriate to strike the case s out of the list.
For these reasons, the Court, unanimously,
Decides to join the applications;
Decides to strike the applications out of its list of cases.
Done in English and notified in writing on 14 December 2017 .
