FACTS AND PROCEDURE

The applicant, Inshaatchi Kooperativi , is a private company with registered seat in Beylegan , Azerbaijan.

The applicant company was represented by Mr A. Rustamov , a lawyer practising in Azerbaijan.

The applicant company ’ s complaints under 6 § 1 of the Convention and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention, c oncerning the alleged unlawful annulment of its certificate of ownership of a sport and health zone, including a soccer stadium, without any compensation, were communicated to the Azerbaijani Government (“the Government”) , who submitted observations on the admissibility and merits. The observations were forwarded to the applicant company, who was invited to submit its own observations.

By letter dated 5 July 2019, sent by registered post, the applicant company was notified that the period allowed for submission of its observations had expired on 12 April 2019 and that no extension of that time-limit had been requested. The applicant company ’ 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 company received this letter on 19 July 2019. However, no response has been received.

THE LAW

In the light of the foregoing, the Court concludes that the applicant company does not wish to pursue the application within the meaning of Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention. Furthermore, in accordance with Article 37 § 1 in fine , the Court finds no special circumstances regarding respect for human rights as defined in the Convention and the Protocols thereto which require the continued 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 16 January 2020 .
