FACTS AND PROCEDURE

The applicant, Salcieni S.R.L., is a company incorporated in the Republic of Moldova. It was represented before the Court by Mr V. Pelin, a lawyer practising in Chisinau.

The Moldovan Government (“the Government”) were represented by their Agent, Mr L. Apostol.

The applicant company ’ s complaints under Article 6 of the Convention and under Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention concerning an abusive quashing of a final judgment were communicated to the Government, who submitted their observations on the admissibility and merits. The observations were forwarded to the applicant company, who was invited to submit its observations on just satisfaction. No reply was received to the Registry ’ s letter.

By letter dated 11 March 2013, sent by registered post, the applicant ’ s representative was notified that the period allowed for submission of his observations had expired on 18 December 2012 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. The applicant ’ s representative received this letter on 18 March 2013. 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 its application, within the meaning of Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention. Furtherm ore, 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.
