FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The applicant, Mr Ryszard Fatla, was born in 1952.
The applicant’s complaints under Article 6 § 1 and Article 13 of the Convention concerning the excessive length of civil proceedings and the lack of any effective remedy in domestic law were communicated to the Polish Government (“the Government”).
On 14 April 2023 the applicant’s wife informed the Registry that applicant had died.
On 28 June 2023 the Government requested to strike the application out of the list of cases.
The applicant’s wife was given a time-limit to submit comments on the Government’s letter. No response was received.
THE LAW
In the light of the foregoing, the Court concludes that the applicant’s potential heir does not wish to pursue the application within the meaning of Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention.
Accordingly, the case should be struck out of the list.
For these reasons, the Court, unanimously,
Decides to strike the application out of its list of cases.
Done in English and notified in writing on 11 April 2024.
