FACTS AND PROCEDURE

The applicant, Mr Tengiz Gorgoshadze , was born in 1955.

The applicant was represented by Mr Z. Markoidze , a lawyer practising in B atumi .

The applicant ’ s complaint under Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention, concerning the revocation of his property title over a plot of land, was communicated to the Georgian Government (“the Government”). After the parties had exchanged their observations, the Government informed the Court that a new remedy was available to the applicant.

By letter of 31 January 2019 the applicant ’ s representative informed the Court that his client had initiated a new set of administrative proceedings regarding his property title, which were pending.

On 16 December 2020 the Registry sent a letter to the applicant ’ s representative inviting him to inform the Court about the progress, if any, or the outcome of the relevant proceedings. No reply was received to this letter.

By letter dated 26 January 2021, sent by registered post, the applicant and his representative were notified that the period allowed for submission of the information requested had expired on 14 January 2021 and that no extension of time had been requested. Their 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 15 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 29 April 2021 .
