Apostol. 3.     The facts of the case, as submitted by the parties, are set out in the appendix table and may be summarised as follows. 4.     The applicants obtained final court judgments in their favour, obliging local public authorities either to pay compensation for unlawfully confiscated property or to provide them with social housing. 5.     Before the Court the applicants complained about the non ‑ enforcement of those judgments. They relied on Article   6   § 1 of the Convention and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention. 6.     The cases were communicated to the Government following the adoption of the pilot judgment in the case of Olaru and others ( Olaru and Others v. Moldova , nos. 476/07, 22539/05, 17911/08 and 13136/07, 28   July   2009). 7.     The Government submitted their observations on the admissibility and merits. The observations were forwarded to the applicants, who were invited to submit their own observations. No reply was received to the Registry’s letter. 8.     By letters dated between 16 September and 14 October 2013, sent by registered post, the applicants and their representatives were notified that the period allowed for submission of their observations had expired and that no extension of time had been requested. The applicants’ and their representatives’ attention was drawn to Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention, which provides that the Court may strike a case out of its list of cases where the circumstances lead to the conclusion that the applicant does not intend to pursue the application. 9.     The applicants and their representatives received those letters. 10. In applications nos. 7847/06, 7851/06, 13258/07 and 46011/07 no response has been received from the applicants. In application no. 27404/06 on 23 October 2013 the applicant’s representative informed the Court that the judgment in the applicant’s favour had been enforced and requested the Court to proceed with the normal course of proceedings. Nevertheless, as the other applicants, this applicant failed to comply with the Court’s invitation to submit observations. THE LAW 11.     The Court finds that, given their common factual and legal background, it is appropriate to join the present applications. 12.     The Court considers that, in these circumstances, the applicants may be regarded as no longer wishing to pursue their applications, 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 cases. In view of the above, it is appropriate to strike the cases 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.   Marialena Tsirli   Dragoljub Popović   Deputy Registrar   President Appendix   No Application No. and date of lodging Applicant’s details   Final judgment Case details   7847/06, 03/02/2006   Vasile TIRNOVETCHI born on 21/12/1939 living in Donduseni, represented by Victor MARCU Edineț District Court, 26/04/2004 Compensation of the pecuniary damage for unlawfully confiscated property located in Edineț   7851/06, 03/02/2006 Tamara STIHARI born on 03/04/1932 living in Cobani, represented by Victor MARCU   Edineț District Court, 21/07/2004 Compensation of the pecuniary damage for unlawfully confiscated property located in Edineț   27404/06, 22/06/2006 Leonte GINCU living in Marcauti, represented by Maria PELIN Briceni District Court, 04/05/2001 Compensation of the pecuniary damage for unlawfully confiscated property located in Briceni   13258/07, 04/03/2007 Anatolie MUNTEAN born on 01/04/1971 living in Chisinau   Supreme Court of Justice, 22/11/2006 Social housing case (internally displaced person)   46011/07, 11/10/2007 Ion GRIGORET born on 27/06/1933 living in Bratusenii Vechi, represented by Victor MARCU   Edineț District Court, 16/08/2005 Compensation of the pecuniary damage for unlawfully confiscated property located in Edineț
