FIRST SECTION

DECISION

Application no. 50437/06
by Natalya Vladimirovna BERLIZEVA and Others
and 20 other “Yakut pensioners” cases
against Russia

The European Court of Human Rights (First Section), sitting on 12 November 2009 as a Chamber composed of:

Christos Rozakis, President,
Nina Vajić,
Anatoly Kovler,
Dean Spielmann,
Sverre Erik Jebens,
Giorgio Malinverni,
George Nicolaou, judges,
and Søren Nielsen, Section Registrar,

Having regard to the above applications,

Having deliberated, decides as follows:

THE FACTS

The applicants are 63 Russian nationals whose names and dates of birth are tabulated in the Annex. They were represented before the Court by Mr I. Novikov, a lawyer practising in Novosibirsk. The Russian Government (“the Government”) were represented by Ms V. Milinchuk and Mr G. Matyushkin, former and present Representatives of the Russian Federation at the European Court of Human Rights.

The facts of the case, as submitted by the parties, may be summarised as follows.

The applicants, old-age pensioners from Yakutia, sued a pension authority for miscalculating their pensions. Binding judgments passed in their favour were quashed on supervisory review because of misinterpretation of material law.

COMPLAINT

The applicants complained under Articles 6 and 13 of the Convention, and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 about the quashing of the judgments.

THE LAW

In view of the similarity of the applications, the Court finds it appropriate to join them.

The Court sent the Government’s observations to Mr Novikov and requested him to submit in reply any observations together with any claims for just satisfaction.

Not having received the observations in time, the Court warned Mr Novikov by registered post that under Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention it might strike the applications out of its list of cases if the circumstances led to the conclusion that the applicants did not intend to pursue the applications. Mr Novikov received these warnings, but no response of his has reached the Court.

The dates of respective letters are shown in the Annex.

The Court considers that, in these circumstances, the applicants may be regarded as no longer wishing to pursue their application, 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 and strike them out of its list of cases.
