A.     The circumstances of the case 2.     The applicants were issued with traffic fines for violating various provisions of the Traffic Code (Law no. 2918). They all brought proceedings before the Magistrates’ Courts, objecting to these fines. In each case, the courts evaluated and rejected their objections without holding a hearing. 3.     All applicants complained under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention of their inability to submit their arguments before the domestic courts during the proceedings concerning their objections to the traffic fines. Details of the facts and criminal proceedings are indicated in the table below.     No. Application no. Date(s) of Traffic-Fine Date(s) of First Instance Decision 1. 60442/08 30 April 2008 31 July 2008 2. 37311/10   9 October 2009 19 March 2010 3. 57969/10 15 February 2010, 27   February 2010 and 12   March 2010   12 March 2010, 28 March 2010 and 14   June 2010 4. 61634/10 16 April 2009   14 September 2009 and 4 March 2011 5. 72427/10 4 December 2009 8 January 2010   B.     Relevant domestic law 4.     A description of the relevant law may be found in in Eksert Turizm Taşımacılık Tekstil Gıda San. ve Tic. Ltd. Şti. v. Turkey and 7 other applications (dec.), nos. 40988/06, 31143/09, 38463/09, 39119/09, 41881/06, 47518/07, 47953/09, 58109/09, 2   July 2013. COMPLAINTS 5.     The applicants complained under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention that the lack of an oral hearing and their inability to challenge the submissions of the administration had violated the principle of a public hearing, adversarial proceedings and equity of arms. 6.     Certain applicants also alleged violations under Articles 6, 8 and 13 of the Convention and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention that the proceedings before the magistrates’ courts were not fair and that the traffic fines issued to them interfered with their rights guaranteed under Article 8 and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention. THE LAW A.     Joinder of the Applications 7.     Given the similarity of the applications as regards both fact and law, the Court deems it appropriate to join them. B.     Article 6 of the Convention 8.     The applicants complained under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention that they had been unable to defend themselves in person or through legal assistance as there had been no public hearing in their cases. Article 6 § 1, in so far as relevant, provides: “In the determination of ... any criminal charge against him, everyone is entitled to a fair ... hearing ... by [a] ... tribunal...” 9.     The Court has dealt with a series of cases similar to the present ones in Eksert Turizm Taşimacilik Tekstil Gida San. Ve Tic. Ltd. Şti. v. Turkey and 7 other applications ((dec.), nos. 40988/06, 31143/09, 38463/09, 39119/09, 41881/06, 47518/07, 47953/09, 58109/09, 2 July 2013). The present complaints are indistinguishable from the complaints in those cases. 10.     It follows that this part of the applications is inadmissible for being manifestly ill ‑ founded, and must be rejected pursuant to Article 35 §§ 3 and 4 of the Convention. C.     Other Complaints 11.     Lastly, certain applicants also alleged violations under Articles 6, 8 and 13 of the Convention and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention. 12.     In the light of all the material in its possession, and in so far as the matters complained of are within its competence, the Court considers that the remainder of the complaints do not disclose any appearance of a violation of any of the above Articles of the Convention. It follows that these complaints are inadmissible for being manifestly ill-founded and must be rejected pursuant to Article 35 §§ 3 and 4 of the Convention. For these reasons, the Court unanimously Decides to join the applications; Declares the applications inadmissible.   Stephen Phillips   Dragoljub Popović Acting Deputy Registrar   President Appendix   No Application No Lodged on Applicant Date of birth Place of residence Represented by   60442/08 10/12/2008 Hakan KENDİRCİ 01/11/1972 Mersin       37311/10 08/04/2010 Bulent KAPICI 17/12/1968 Ankara       57969/10 08/06/2010 Şükrü Yıldırım 01/01/1980 Şanlıurfa     61634/10 22/09/2010 Savaş ÖZOK 15/11/1967 İzmir   Halil Çağlar AKBULUT   72427/10 13/10/2010 Alper KESRİKLİOĞLU 10/03/1977 İstanbul
