The applicant was represented by Mr M. DoÄŸan , a lawyer practising in Ankara.

The applicant ’ s complaints under Article 6 § 1 and Article 8 of the Convention concerning his constitutional right to enjoy free access to the coastline and the alleged failure of the national authorities to enforce domestic court judgments ordering the demolition of illegal constructions on beaches which were found to prevent the public ’ s access to the shoreline were communicated to the Turkish Government (“the Government”) . They submitted observations on the admissibility and merits. The observations were forwarded to the applicant, who was invited to submit his own observations. No reply was received to the Registry ’ s letter .

By a letter dated 25 May 2020, sent by registered post, the applicant was notified that the period allowed for submission of his observations had expired on 4 March 2020 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 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 12 June 2020. However, no response has followed.
