An application cannot be brought in the name of a deceased person, since a deceased person is unable, even through a representative, to lodge an application with the Court (see Yasa v. Turkey, no. 22495/93, Commission's report of 8 April 1997, § 88, Reports of Judgments and Decisions 1998-VI, and Dupin v. Croatia (dec.), no. 36868/03, 7 July 2009).

La Cour rappelle qu'une personne décédée ne peut pas, même par le biais d'un représentant, introduire une requête devant la Cour (Macedonia Gavrielidou et autres c. Chypre (déc.), no 73802/01, 13 novembre 2003, Yasa c. Turquie, requête no 22495/93, rapport de la Commission du 8 avril 1997, Dupin c. Croatie (déc.), no 36868/03, 7 juillet 2009, Gavrielidou et autres c. Chypre (déc.), no 73802/01, 13 novembre 2003, Gürlesen et autres c. Turquie (déc.), no 15573/03, 29 April 2008).

As it is undisputed that the first applicant had died before her putative representative, Ms. M. Dobrescu, introduced the applications in her name, and in so far as the second applicant cannot pursue the application in her place because Ms Maria Buta had actually never taken part in proceedings before the Court, the present applications, in so far as they concern Ms Maria Buta, are incompatible ratione personae with the provisions of the Convention within the meaning of Article 35 § 3 and must be rejected pursuant to Article 35 § 4 (see for instance Dupin v. Croatia, (dec.), no. 36868/03, 7 July 2009 and Vidic and Others v. Serbia (dec.), no. 60/10, 14 January 2014).
