Quotations The Government requested that the applications be partly struck out of the list of cases in accordance with Article 37 § 1 (c ) of the Convention , challenging the right of the heirs of the four applicants who had died in the course of the proceedings (Mr Hristozov , Mr Petrov , Ms Pencheva and Mr Behar , see paragraph 4 above ) to pursue the applications in their stead . In their view , those heirs could not claim to be indirect victims , and did not have a valid interest in obtaining a ruling by the Court , because the alleged breaches of Articles 2, 3 and 8 of the Convention did not affect them , for two reasons . First , the authorities ’ refusal to allow the applicants access to the unauthorised medicinal product that they wished to have administered did not affect other individuals , such as their heirs . Secondly , the rights invoked by the applicants were deeply personal in nature . Moreover , it was not the Court ’s task to determine in the abstract whether the relevant domestic law provisions were in line with the Convention .
