Having regard to the above application lodged on 25 April 2017,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The applicant, Mr Sedat Sarıoğlu, was born in 1947.
On 5 November 2018 the applicant’s complaints under Article 6 of the Convention concerning the allegedly excessive amount of fees imposed on him at the end of the domestic proceedings were communicated to the Turkish Government (“the Government”).
On 17 April 2019 the Court’s letter, sent to the applicant by registered mail, returned with a postmark indicating that the applicant had died. No heirs have in the meantime presented themselves to the Court to continue with the application.
THE LAW
The Court notes that the applicant has died and that no heirs have come forward to pursue the examination of the case. 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 application.
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 3 October 2019.
