The European Court of Human Rights (Second Section), sitting on 6 February 2025 as a Committee composed of:
Gediminas Sagatys, President,
Stéphane Pisani,
Juha Lavapuro, judges,
and Viktoriya Maradudina, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,
Having regard to the above application lodged on 28 May 2020,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The applicant, Ms Ümran Liste, was born in 1986. She was represented by Ms F. Hacıpaşalıoğlu, a lawyer practising in Ankara.
The applicant’s complaint under Article 8 of the Convention was communicated to the Turkish Government (“the Government”), who submitted observations on the admissibility and merits. The observations were forwarded to the applicant, who was invited to submit her own observations. No reply was received to the Registry’s letter.
By letter dated 15 October 2024, sent via the Court’s Electronic Communication Service (eComms) and by registered post, the applicant’s representative was notified that the period allowed for submission of the applicant’s observations had expired on 22 August 2024 and that no extension of time had been requested. The applicant’s representative’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 sent by post was returned to the Registry as unclaimed on 25 November 2024. However, the applicant’s representative downloaded the letter sent to her via eComms, on 28 October 2024 and then on 7 November 2024. 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 6 March 2025.
