FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The applicant, G.A. Kouris A.E. Ekdotikes Epichirisis, is a company registered under Greek law, established in 1987 in Athens. It was represented before the Court by Mr P. Lazaratos, a lawyer practising in Athens.
The applicant company complained under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention that the principle of legal certainty had been breached by a decision of the Supreme Administrative Court and that the latter had not respected the adversarial principle. It also complained under Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention about the loss of their property it had allegedly suffered as a result of the breach of the principle of legal certainty and of the adversarial principle. Lastly, it complained under Article 13 of the Convention that it had been deprived of an effective remedy in connection to its complaints under Article 1 of Protocol No. 1.
On 12 July 2018 the Court decided to give notice to the Government of the applicant company’s complaints detailed above.
On 5 February 2019 the applicant company’s representative informed the Court that the applicant company wanted to withdraw the application.
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 or its Protocols, 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.
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.
Done in English and notified in writing on 22 October 2020.
