FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The applicant, Mr Zeki Ünal, was born in 1948.
He was represented before the Court by Mr. E. Eraslan, a lawyer practising in Istanbul.
The applicant’s complaints under Article 6 of the Convention and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention concerning his obligation to pay court fees in the proceedings brought against him (application no. 31707/07); under Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 concerning the injunction placed on the applicant’s property and his inability to use his property as a result of it (application no. 27112/08); and under Article 6 of the Convention and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 concerning the length of the proceedings and the injunction placed on the applicant’s property and his inability to use his property as a result of it (application no. 3066/11), were communicated to the Turkish Government (“the Government”).
On 4 March 2019 the applicant informed the Registry that he wanted to withdraw his applications to the Court as he no longer stands to benefit from the outcome of the proceedings.
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 27 June 2019.
