FACTS AND PROCEDURE

The applicant, Mr Sergey Anatolyevich Kravchenko, was born in 1968.

The applicant ’ s complaints under Article s 6 § 1 and 13 of the Convention and Article 1 of the Protocol No. 1 concerning the non-enforcement or delayed enforcement of domestic decisions given against a unitary enterprise and the lack of any effective remedy in domestic law were communicated to the Russian Government (“the Government”) , who submitted observations on the admissibility and merits.

By letter dated 25 May 2018 , sent by registered post to the applicant ’ s only known address, the applicant was notified that the period allowed for submission of his observations had expired on 23 March 2018 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 letter returned to the Court unclaimed. The Court has not received correspondence from the applicant since 2006 and he has not provided the Court with any updates concerning his possible change of address.

THE LAW

In the light of the foregoing, t he Court concludes that the applicant may be regarded as no longer wishing to pursue the application (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 17 January 2019 .
