KŁAPUT proti Polsku

FIRST SECTION

DECISION

Application no. 34287/13
Władysław KŁAPUT
against Poland

The European Court of Human Rights (First Section), sitting on 24 November 2022 as a Committee composed of:

Ivana Jelić, President,
Krzysztof Wojtyczek,
Erik Wennerström, judges,

and Viktoriya Maradudina, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,

Having regard to the above application lodged on 16 May 2013,

Having deliberated, decides as follows:

FACTS AND PROCEDURE

The applicant, Mr Władysław Kłaput, was born in 1944. He was represented by Mr M. Klatkiewicz, a lawyer practising in Kraków.

The applicant’s complaints under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 about revocation of his right to a structural pension were communicated to the Polish Government (“the Government”).

On 12 August 2022 the applicant’s representative informed the Registry that the applicant had died. He did not indicate that the applicant had any heirs whose intention would be to pursue the application to the Court. He also failed to reply to the Registry’s letter asking for a further clarification on that matter.

THE LAW

In the light of the foregoing, the Court concludes that the applicant’s heirs, if any, do not wish to pursue the application within the meaning of Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention.

Furthermore, the Court considers that respect for human rights as defined in the Convention and its Protocols does not require the continued examination of the case.

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 15 December 2022.
