Diana Kovatcheva, President,
Canòlic Mingorance Cairat,
Vasilka Sancin, judges,
and Viktoriya Maradudina, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,
Having regard to the above application lodged on 27 February 2019,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The applicant, NI-THE EPE, is a company registered under Greek law. It was represented before the Court by Mr P. Miliarakis, a lawyer practising in Athens.
The applicant company’s complaints under Article 6 § 1 and Article 13 of the Convention were communicated to the Greek Government (“the Government”), who submitted observations on the admissibility and merits. The observations were forwarded to the applicant company, which was invited to submit its own observations. No reply was received to the Registry’s letter.
By a letter sent on 6 June 2025 by registered post and via the Court’s Electronic Communication Service platform (eComms), the applicant company’s representative was notified that the period allowed for the submission of the applicant company’s observations had expired on 11 April 2025 and that no extension of time had been requested. The representative’s attention was also 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.
No reply to that letter has been received by the Court. The letter in question was not downloaded from eComms platform, and the postal service returned it to the Court undelivered with the note “PO box had been abandoned”. The Court observes that the applicant company’s representative has never informed the Court of any change of address.
The same letter was also sent to the applicant company by registered post and was delivered on 27 June 2025, but no reply 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 13 November 2025.
