Having regard to the above application lodged on 7 December 2006,

FACTS AND PROCEDURE

The applicant, Mr Uğur Aksu is a Tu rkish national, who was born in 1972 and lives in Istanbul. He was represented before the Court by Mr Alpay Güzel , a lawyer practicing in Istanbul.

The applicant ’ s complaints under Articles 6 and 13 of the Convention and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention were communicated to the Turkish Government (“the Government”), who were represented by their Agent.

The Registry ’ s letter of 2 June 2017, sent to the applicant ’ s representative was returned, as the representative had moved from the address that had been indicated in the application form. No new address was provided to the Court despite the clear obligation to this effect, provided for by Rule 47 § 7 of the Rules of the Court.

THE LAW

The Court considers that, in these circumstances, the applicant may be regarded as no longer wishing to pursue his 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 its Protocols which require the continued examination of the case.

In view of the above, it is appropriate to strike the case 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 May 2018 .
