FOURTH SECTION

DECISION

Application no. 47981/16
Nicolae BRAN
against Romania

The European Court of Human Rights (Fourth Section), sitting on 8 September 2022 as a Committee composed of:

Armen Harutyunyan, President,

Jolien Schukking,

Ana Maria Guerra Martins, judges,

and Viktoriya Maradudina, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,

Having regard to the above application lodged on 8 November 2016,

Having deliberated, decides as follows:

FACTS AND PROCEDURE

The applicant, Mr Nicolae Bran, was born in 1970. He was represented by Ms I.M. Peter, a lawyer practising in Bucharest.

The applicant’s complaints under Article 3 of the Convention concerning the inadequate conditions of detention were communicated to the Romanian Government (“the Government”).

On 21 October 2020 the applicant’s representative informed the Registry that the applicant had died, and she was not aware of the existence of any potential heir of the applicant.

On 29 April 2022 the Registry sent a letter, by registered post, to the applicant’s home address, asking whether there was any potential heir wishing to pursue the proceedings before the Court. That letter was received by the applicant’s sister. No potential heir contacted the Court.

THE LAW

In the light of the foregoing, the Court concludes that the applicant has no heirs wishing to pursue the application within the meaning of Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention.

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 29 September 2022.
