Stéphanie Mourou-Vikström, President, Jovan Ilievski, Mattias Guyomar, judges,

and Viktoriya Maradudina, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,

Having regard to the above application lodged on 17 April 2014,

Having deliberated, decides as follows:

FACTS AND PROCEDURE

The applicant, Ms Tetyana Volodymyrivna Larina, was born in 1969.

The applicant was represented by Ms K. Drozach, a lawyer practising in Dnipro.

The applicant’s complaints concerning her inability to examine certain witnesses in the criminal proceedings against her were communicated to the Ukrainian Government (“the Government”), who submitted observations on the admissibility and merits. The observations were forwarded to the applicant, who was invited to submit her own observations. No reply was received to the Registry’s letter.

By letter dated 11 February 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 26 October 2020 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 applicant’s representative received this letter on 26 February 2021. However, 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 30 September 2021.
