Ioannis Ktistakis , President , Darian Pavli, Oddný Mjöll Arnardóttir , judges ,
and Viktoriya Maradudina, Acting 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 list of the applicants is set out in the appendix.
The applicants’ complaints concerning various aspects of fairness of proceedings, lack of access to a court and absence of effective remedy under Articles 6 and 13 of the Convention, as well as interference with the peaceful enjoyment of possessions under Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention were communicated to the Albanian Government, who submitted observations on the admissibility and merits.
The observations were forwarded to the applicants, who were invited to submit their own observations.
By letters sent by registered post, the applicants’ representatives and the applicants were invited to inform the Court if there has been any development since the parties’ latest updates and whether the applicants wished to maintain the applications. The applicants’ attention was further drawn to Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention, which provides that the Court may strike an application out of its list of cases where the circumstances lead to the conclusion that the applicant does not intend to pursue the application.
However, the applicants did not collect the letters sent to them nor did they provide the Court with new addresses.
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.
In the light of the foregoing, the Court concludes that the applicants may be regarded as no longer wishing to pursue the applications (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 the Protocols thereto which require the continued examination of the applications.
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 21 September 2023.
