Ivana Jelić, President,
Arnfinn Bårdsen,
Darian Pavli, judges,
and Liv Tigerstedt, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,
Having regard to the above application lodged on 23 January 2009,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The applicant, Mr Abdullah Pişkin, was born in 1946.
The applicant was represented by Ms M. Özyaprak, a lawyer practising in İstanbul.
The applicant’s complaints under Articles 6 and 13 of the Convention and Article 1 of Protocol No.1 to the Convention, concerning the domestic authorities’ refusal to register a property on the applicant and their alleged failure to execute a previous judgment in his favour, were 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 his own observations. No reply was received to the Registry’s letter.
By letter dated 2 September 2019, sent by registered post, the applicant was notified that the period allowed for submission of his observations had expired on 2 July 2019 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 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 applicant’s representative received this letter on 20 September 2019. However, no response has been received.
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 16 January 2020.
