The European Court of Human Rights (First Section), sitting on 23 September 2021 as a Committee composed of:

Erik Wennerström, President, Lorraine Schembri Orland, Ioannis Ktistakis, judges,

and Viktoriya Maradudina, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,

Having regard to the above application lodged on 15 February 2018,

Having deliberated, decides as follows:

FACTS AND PROCEDURE

The applicant, Mr Adrian Winiarczyk, was born in 1988.

The applicant’s complaints under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention concerning excessive length of proceedings and insufficient compensation for non-pecuniary damage suffered on account of the excessive length of proceedings in breach of Article 13 of the Convention were communicated to the Polish Government (“the Government”).

On 3 July 2020 the applicant was requested to submit comments on the Government’s unilateral declaration. The letter was returned undelivered. By letter dated 8 December 2020, sent by registered post to the applicant’s home address, the applicant was notified that the new period allowed for submission of the requested information would expire on 8 January 2021. 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. 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 14 October 2021.
