FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The applicant, Mr Adam Gramowski, was born in 1982.
The applicant’s complaints under Article 6 § 1 and Article 13 of the Convention concerning the excessive length of criminal proceedings and the lack of any effective remedy in domestic law were communicated to the Polish Government (“the Government”), who submitted observations on the admissibility and merits.
By letter dated 4 December 2025, sent by registered post, the applicant was requested to inform of any important factual developments that may have taken place since his last correspondence to the Court received on 10 November 2022. 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. On 21 January 2026 the letter came back as unclaimed. The applicant has not to date resumed correspondence with the Court in the instant case.
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 12 March 2026.
