Solovyev and Others v. Ukraine

FIFTH SECTION

Application no. 4239/06 Nikolay Vladimirovich SOLOVYEV against Ukraine and three other applications (see list appended)

The European Court of Human Rights (Fifth Section), sitting on 15 October 2013 as a Committee composed of:

Boštjan M. Zupančič, President, Ann Power-Forde, Helena Jäderblom, judges, and Stephen Phillips, Deputy Section Registrar,

Having regard to the above applications lodged on various dates,

Having deliberated, decides as follows:

FACTS AND PROCEDURE

A list of the applicants is set out in the appendix.

The Ukrainian Government (“the Government”) are represented by their Agent, Mr N. Kultchytskyy, of the Ministry of Justice.

The applicants complained about lengthy non-enforcement of the domestic judgments given in their favour. These complaints were communicated to the Government, who submitted unilateral declarations to settle the cases. The declarations were forwarded to the applicants, who were invited to submit their comments. No replies followed.

By letters sent by registered post on the dates listed in the appendix, the applicants’ 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. In the application no. 4239/06 the Court’s letter was returned undelivered as the addressee was not found. In the remaining applications no replies followed.

THE LAW

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 cases out of the list.

For these reasons, the Court unanimously

Decides to strike the applications out of its list of cases.
