FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The applicant, Ms Yelena Nikolayevna Akhulkova, was born in 1955.
The applicant was represented by Ms Y. Vikhlyantseva, a lawyer practising in Moscow.
The applicant’s complaint under Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention concerning the peaceful enjoyment of possessions was communicated to the Russian Government (“the Government”) on 17 December 2015. The applicant and the Government each filed observations.
On 20 January 2021 the Registry sent a letter to the applicant requesting information concerning important factual developments relevant to the communicated complaint. No reply was received to this letter.
By letter dated 25 February 2021, sent by registered post, the applicant was notified that the period allowed for submission of the requested information had expired and that no extension of time had been sought. The applicant’s 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 applicant’s representative received the letter on 2 April 2021. However, no response has followed.
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 10 June 2021.
