FOURTH SECTION
DECISION
Application no. 2465/09
Mary Alina SANDU
against Romania
The European Court of Human Rights (Fourth Section), sitting on 8 March 2018 as a Committee composed of:
Vincent A. De Gaetano, President,
Georges Ravarani,
Marko Bošnjak, judges,
and Liv Tigerstedt, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,
Having regard to the above application lodged on 18 December 2008,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
FACTS AND PROCEDURE
1. The applicant, Ms Mary Alina Sandu, was born in 1969 and lives in Bucharest.
2. The applicant’s complaints under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention and Article 1 of the Protocol No. 1 concerning the non-enforcement of a final judgment were communicated to the Romanian Government (“the Government”), who submitted observations on the admissibility and merits.
3. Since her last correspondence dated 16 March 2011, no submissions on the progress of the case have been received by the Court from the applicant.
4. By letter dated 2 November 2017, sent by registered post, the applicant was invited to inform the Court about any developments of the proceedings at the domestic level. 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.
5. The applicant received this letter on 9 November 2017. However, no response has been received in reply.
THE LAW
6. In the absence of any correspondence from the applicant since 2011 and given her failure to reply to the strike-out warning, the Court concludes that the applicant may be regarded as no longer wishing to pursue the application (Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention). Furthermore, in accordance with Article 37 § 1 in fine, the Court finds no special circumstances regarding respect for human rights as defined in the Convention and the Protocols thereto which require the continued examination of the application.
7. 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 29 March 2018.
