Mirjana Lazarova Trajkovska, President,
Linos-Alexandre Sicilianos,
Ksenija Turković, judges,
and André Wampach, Deputy Section Registrar,
Having regard to the above application lodged on 27 October 2007,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The applicant, Ms Alla Pavlovna Lantukh, is a Russian national, who was born in 1940 and lives in Moscow.
The Russian Government (“the Government”) were represented by Mr G. Matyushkin, Representative of the Russian Federation at the European Court of Human Rights.
The circumstances of the case
The applicant complained, among other matters, about delayed enforcement of the judgment in her favour taken by the Lefortovskiy District Court of Moscow on 20 December 2006.
THE LAW
By letter dated 6 February 2014 the Government’s observations were sent to the applicant, who was requested to submit any observations together with any claims for just satisfaction in reply by 10 April 2014.
By letter dated 23 May 2014, sent by registered post, the applicant was notified that the period allowed for submission of her observations had expired on 10 April 2014 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 a case out of its list of cases where the circumstances lead to the conclusion that the applicant does not intend to pursue the application. However, no response has been received. The letter sent to the applicant returned to the Court as unclaimed. The Court notes that applicant did not inform the Court of any change in her contact details.
The Court considers that, in these circumstances, the applicant may be regarded as no longer wishing to pursue her application, within the meaning of 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 its Protocols which require the continued examination of the case.
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 19 February 2015.
