Having regard to the above application lodged on 15 September 2006,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
THE FACTS
The applicant, Mr Ireneusz Majszak, is a Polish national who was born in 1978 and lives in Międzyrzec Podlaski. The Ukrainian Government (“the Government”) were represented by their Agent, Ms V. Lutkovska, from the Ministry of Justice.
On 30 August 2010 the applicant’s complaints under Article 6 of the Convention and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 were communicated to the Government, who submitted their observations on the admissibility and merits.
By letter dated 17 January 2011 the Government’s observations were sent to the applicant, who was requested to submit any observations together with any claims for just satisfaction in reply by 28 February 2011.
By letter dated 30 March 2011, sent by registered post, the applicant was notified that the period allowed for submission of his observations had expired on 28 February 2011 and that no extension of time had been requested. The applicant’s attention was drawn to Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention, which provides that the Court may strike a case out of its list of cases where the circumstances lead to the conclusion that the applicant does not intend to pursue the application. However, no response has been received.
THE LAW
The Court considers that, in these circumstances, the applicant may be regarded as no longer wishing to pursue his 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 case.
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.
