Having regard to the above application lodged on 4 January 2010,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
THE FACTS
The applicant, Mr Viktor Rajc, was a Croatian national born in 1958 and lived in Pazin.
He was represented before the Court by Mr M. Zubović, a lawyer practising in Pazin. The Croatian Government (“the Government”) were represented by their Agent, Ms Š. StaZnik.
The applicant complained under Article 4 § 1 of Protocol No. 7 of the Convention that he had been punished twice for the same offence.
On 14 September 2011 the Government submitted to the Court their observations on the admissibility and merits of the application. These were forwarded on 22 September 2011 to the applicant, who was invited to submit observations in reply by 3 November 2011.
By letter of 28 September 2011 the applicant’s representative informed the Court that the applicant had died and that his application to the Court would not be pursued by his heirs.
THE LAW
The Court takes note of the fact that the applicant has died and that his heirs do not wish to pursue the application within the meaning of Article 37 § 1 of the Convention. Furthermore, the Court considers that respect for human rights as defined in the Convention and its Protocols does not require a continuation of the application.
In view of the above, it is appropriate to strike the case out of the list.
For these reasons, the Court unanimously
Decides to strike the application out of its list of cases.
