Having regard to the above application lodged on 19 November 2015,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The applicant company was a law firm based in Baku.
The applicant company was represented by Mr A. Ismayilov, a lawyer based in Baku.
The applicant company’s complaint under Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention concerning the freezing of its bank accounts was communicated to the parties.
By a letter dated 14 December 2022, sent by registered post, the applicant company was requested to inform the Court of any important factual developments since its last correspondence with the Court. Its attention was drawn to Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention, which provides that the Court may strike an application out of its list of cases where the circumstances lead to the conclusion that the applicant does not intend to pursue the application. The Court’s letter was returned by the postal service as undelivered, with a note stating that the applicant company was no longer at this address.
The applicant company had last corresponded with the Court on 8 December 2018 and, since then, has not informed the Court of any change to its postal address. No other address for correspondence with the applicant company is known to the Registry.
THE LAW
In the light of the foregoing, and in the absence of any special circumstances regarding respect for the rights guaranteed by the Convention and the Protocols thereto, the Court, in accordance with Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention, considers that it is no longer justified to continue the examination of the application.
Accordingly, the case should be struck out of the list.
For these reasons, the Court, unanimously,
Decides to strike the application out of its list of cases.
Done in English and notified in writing on 8 June 2023.
