Arnfinn Bårdsen, judges,

Having regard to the above application lodged on 2 May 2013,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The applicant, Ms Olga Mykhaylivna Solonevych, was born in 1958.
The applicant was represented by Mr V.M. Surnyk, a lawyer practicing in Kyiv.
The applicant’s complaints under Article 6 of the Convention and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 concerning the alleged deprivation of property (the real value of her shares in a company) as a result of the unfair trial were communicated to the Ukrainian Government (“the Government”), who submitted observations on the admissibility and merits. The observations were forwarded to the applicant, via the Court’s Electronic Communication system (eComms), who was invited to submit her own observations. However, no response has followed.
By letter dated 26 July 2021, sent by registered post, the applicant’s representative was notified that the period allowed for submission of the applicant’s observations had expired on 10 May 2021 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 letter was not claimed by the applicant’s representative and it returned to the Court on 12 October 2021.
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 10 February 2022.
