FIRST SECTION
DECISION
Application no. 31264/11
Petros GRIGORYAN against Armenia
and 4 other applications
(see list appended)
The European Court of Human Rights (First Section), sitting on 3 September 2020 as a Committee composed of:
Krzysztof Wojtyczek, President,
Linos-Alexandre Sicilianos,
Armen Harutyunyan, judges,
and Liv Tigerstedt, 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 and their representatives is set out in the appendix.
The applicants’ complaints under Article 5 §§ 3 and 5 of the Convention concerning the lack of relevant and sufficient reasons for detention and the lack of compensation for non-pecuniary damage were communicated to the Armenian Government (“the Government”).
On 16 October 2019, after unsuccessful friendly-settlement negotiations, the Registry sent a letter to the applicants requesting them to submit any claims for just satisfaction. No reply was received to this letter.
By letter dated 7 February 2020, sent by registered post, the applicants were notified that the period allowed for submission of their claims for just satisfaction had expired on 29 November 2019 and that no extension of time had been requested. The applicants’ attention was 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.
No reply to these letters has been received by the Court (see details in the appended table) and there are no previous letters from the applicants informing the Court about a change of address.
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, and in the absence of any special circumstances regarding respect for the rights guaranteed by the Convention and the Protocols thereto, the Court, in accordance with Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention, considers that it is no longer justified to continue the 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 24 September 2020.
