FOURTH SECTION
DECISION
Application no. 11482/11
Gurije DVORANI and others
against Albania
The European Court of Human Rights (Fourth Section), sitting on 25 November 2014 as a Committee composed of:
Paul Mahoney, President,
Ledi Bianku,
Krzysztof Wojtyczek, judges,
and Fatoş Aracı, Deputy Section Registrar,
Having regard to the above application lodged on 16 February 2011,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
THE FACTS
A list of the applicants is set out in the appendix. They were represented before the Court by Ms E. Kokona, a lawyer practising in Tirana.
The Albanian Government (“the Government”) were represented by their Agent, Ms A. Hicka of the State Advocate’s Office.
A. The circumstances of the case
The facts of the case, as submitted by the parties, may be summarised as follows.
On 10 December 1999 the Korça Restitution and Compensation of Properties Commission (“the Korça Commission”) recognised the applicants’ inherited title to a plot of land measuring 10,100 sq. m. Since the plot of land was occupied the applicants would be compensated in one of the ways provided for by law.
On 20 December 2013 the case was communicated to the parties.
COMPLAINTS
The applicants complained under Articles 6 § 1 and 13 as well as under Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention about the authorities’ failure to pay them compensation in accordance with the Korça Commission decision.
THE LAW
On 26 September 2014 the applicants requested the Court not to pursue the application and to strike it out of the list of cases.
The Court considers that, in these circumstances, the applicants no longer wish to pursue their application, 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 case. Accordingly, it is appropriate to strike the case out of the list.
For these reasons, the Court, unanimously,
Decides to strike the application out of its list of cases.
