The applications concern the invalidation of the applicants’ titles to certain property following a request by the prosecutor; the property was returned to the State. In that respect the applicants complained under Articles 6 and 13 of the Convention, as well as under Article 1 of Protocol No. 1. The Court’s attempts to reach the applicants or the person whom the second applicant had designated as his representative and contact person by phone and email, indicated in the application forms, were unsuccessful. The Court’s letters sent in January 2024 by registered post to the applicants’ and the representative’s addresses returned as undelivered. With this, the Court has no other possibility to reach the applicants. The applicants themselves have not contacted the Court since March 2021 and April 2020, respectively. 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 (see Bryska and Others v Ukraine [Committee] (dec.), nos.   11706/13 and 5 others, 2 November 2023 and Zhadan and Others v   Ukraine [Committee] (dec.), no. 29283/13 and 26   others, 14   December 2023). Accordingly, the cases should be struck out of the list. The Court reiterates that under Article 37 § 2 of the Convention it may decide to restore an application to its list of cases if it considers that the circumstances justify such a course. 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 6 June 2024.     Viktoriya Maradudina   Carlo Ranzoni   Acting Deputy Registrar   President     APPENDIX List of applications   No Application no.
