Italy (Committee), no. 58442/09, 19 September 2024, where, however, they were not listed among the heirs of the deceased original applicant. Accordingly, they made it clear that they did not intend to pursue the present application, either on the merits or in relation to any financial claims, to avoid any duplication in the award of damages.

Accordingly, the application should be struck out of the Court’s list of cases. For these reasons, the Court, unanimously, Decides to strike the application out of its list of cases.
