THE FACTS
The applicant, Ms Nataliya Savivna Shestakova, is a Ukrainian national who was born in 1969 and lives in Oleksandriya. The Ukrainian Government (“the Government”) were represented by their Agent, Mr Yuriy Zaytsev.
The applicant complained under Articles 1, 4 § 2, 6 § 1, 13 and 14 of the Convention and Article 1 of Protocol No. 12 about the non-enforcement of the judgment of 6 December 2004 given in her favour against the Oleksandriya Department of Education.
By a letter dated 16 February 2009 the Government’s observations were sent to the applicant, who was requested to submit any observations in reply together with any claims for just satisfaction by 30 March 2009.
By a letter dated 21 September 2009, sent by registered post, the applicant was notified that the period allowed for submission of the applicant’s observations had expired on 30 March 2009 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 a case 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 received the Court’s letter of 21 September 2009 on 3 October 2009. However, no response has been received.
THE LAW
The Court considers that, in these circumstances, the applicant may be regarded as no longer wishing to pursue her application, within the meaning of 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 its Protocols which require the continued examination of the case.
In view of the above, it is appropriate to strike the case out of the list.
For these reasons, the Court unanimously
Decides to strike the application out of its list of cases.
