Having regard to the above application lodged on 7 July 2014,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The applicant, Ross Turizm ve Ticaret Ltd. Şti., is a company with its registered office in Muğla, Turkey.
The applicant was represented by Mr H. Canda, a lawyer practising in Muğla.
The applicant’s complaint under Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention concerning the domestic authorities’ refusal to register a certain property in its name, as the majority of its shares were held by a foreign national, 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 its own observations. No reply was received to the Registry’s letter.
By a letter dated 29 January 2020, sent by registered post, the applicant was notified that the period allowed for submission of its observations had expired on 15 November 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 10 February 2020. 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 2 July 2020.
