Úna Ní Raifeartaigh, Mateja Đurović, Vasilka Sancin , 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 under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention concerning their right of access to the Appeal and Constitutional Courts, as well as the length of the civil proceedings in a property dispute, were communicated to the Albanian Government (“the Government”), who submitted observations on the admissibility and merits.

The observations were forwarded to the applicants, who were invited to submit their own observations. The applicants did not submit any reply.

By letters sent by registered post and via the Court’s Electronic Communication Service (eComms), the applicants and their representatives were reminded about submitting their reply to the Government’s observations. Their 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, no response has followed.

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.

Accordingly, the cases should be struck 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 10 July 2025.
