Sebastian Răduleţu, judges,
and Viktoriya Maradudina, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,
Having regard to the above application lodged on 9 June 2020,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The applicant, Rosgosstrakh-Armenia Insurance CJSC, is a private insurance company with its registered office in Yerevan. It was represented by Mr N. Yuzbashyan, a lawyer practising in Yerevan.
The applicant company’s complaints under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention that it had been deprived of its right of access to a court, in that it had not been able to challenge the decision of the Financial System Mediator in substance, were communicated to the Armenian Government (“the Government”), who submitted observations on the admissibility and merits. The observations were forwarded to the applicant company’s representative, who was invited to submit his observations in reply. No reply was received to the Registry’s letter.
By a letter dated 22 June 2023, sent via the Court’s Electronic Communication Service, the applicant company’s representative was notified that the period allowed for submission of the observations had expired on 30 May 2023 and that no extension of time had been requested. His 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 company’s representative received that letter on 22 June 2023. However, 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 28 March 2024.
