SECOND SECTION
DECISION
Application no. 52397/17
Marijan BUNC
against Slovenia
The European Court of Human Rights (Second Section), sitting on 6 June 2019 as a Committee composed of:
Ivana Jelić, President,
Arnfinn Bårdsen,
Darian Pavli, judges,
and Liv Tigerstedt, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,
Having regard to the above application lodged on 6 July 2017,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The applicant, Mr Marijan Bunc, is a Slovenian national who was born in 1953 and lives in Dornberk.
The applicant’s complaints under Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention and Article 13 of the Convention, concerning the Bank of Slovenia’s emergency measures against a bank, in which the applicant held shares, were communicated to the Slovenian Government (“the Government”).
The applicant failed to respond to the Registry’s letter of 14 December 2018, informing him that the President of the Section had decided not to grant him the requested leave to present his own case and to use the Slovenian language in the written proceedings. The applicant was reminded to submit a completed authority form appointing a lawyer to represent him in the proceedings before the Court by 31 January 2019.
By letter dated 12 February 2019, sent by registered post, the applicant was notified that the period allowed for submission of the authority form had expired on 31 January 2019, 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 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 letter was returned unclaimed.
THE LAW
In the light of the foregoing, the Court concludes that the applicant may be regarded as no longer wishing to pursue the application (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 the Protocols thereto which require the continued 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 27 June 2019.
