On various dates the above letters returned to the Court as unclaimed or undeliverable due to a change of the recipients ’ addresses.

Although the applicant s knew that they had the obligation to inform the Court of any change in their address es and about any major developments regarding their case s , they did not provide the Court with s uch information .

THE LAW

According to Article 37 § 1 of the Convention , t he 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 Court considers that the applicants ’ failure to inform the Registry about the change of their addresses despite such explicit obligation highlighted in the Registry ’ s letters must be taken to indicate that they have lost interest in the proceedings , 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 se case s .

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 m out of its list of cases.
