Having regard to the above application lodged on 17 January 2011,

FACTS AND PROCEDURE

The applicant, Ms Mirosława Krystyna Chrzanowska, is a Polish national, who was born in 1955 and lives in Łódź.

She was represented before the Court by Mr Z. Ciesielski, a lawyer practising in Brzeziny.

The Polish Government (“the Government”) were represented by their Agent, Ms J. Chrzanowska of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The applicant complained under Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention that she had been deprived of ownership of her property.

The application was communicated to the Government, who submitted their observations on the admissibility and merits. The observations were forwarded to the applicant, who was invited to submit her own observations. No reply was received to the Registry ’ s letter.

By letters dated 4 April and 16 May 2017 sent by registered post, the applicant ’ s representative and the applicant herself were notified that the period allowed for submission of her observations had expired on 14 November 2016 and that no extension of time had been requested.

The applicant ’ s representative ’ s attention was drawn to Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention, which provides that the Court may strike a case out of its list of cases where the circumstances lead to the conclusion that the applicant does not intend to pursue the application. However, no response has been received.

THE LAW

The Court considers that, in these circumstances, the applicant may be regarded as no longer wishing to pursue her 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 19 October 2017 .
