DECISION

The European Court of Human Rights (Third Section), sitting on 6 October 2022 as a Committee composed of:

Andreas Zünd , President,

Darian Pavli ,

Frédéric Krenc , judges,

and Viktoriya Maradudina, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,

Having regard to the above application lodged on 17 May 2019,

Having deliberated, decides as follows:

FACTS AND PROCEDURE

The applicant, Ms Nermin Habibi, was born in 1964. She was represented by Mr Xh. Sheta and Mr A. Peka, lawyers practising in Tirana.

Under Article 6 § 1 and Article 13 of the Convention, as well as under Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention, the applicant complained that the authorities had failed to pay her the full amount of compensation for the expropriation of a plot of land and that she had no effective remedy in respect of her complaint.

The application was communicated to the Albanian Government who submitted observations on the admissibility and merits.

The observations were forwarded via the Court’s Electronic Communications Service (eComms) to the applicant, who was invited to submit her own observations. No reply was received by the Court.

By a letter of 1 June 2022 sent through eComms, the applicant’s attention was drawn to the fact that failure to submit a reply might result in the striking ‑ out of the application in accordance with Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention. The applicant’s representatives downloaded the letter on the same date. However, no reply followed.

THE LAW

In the light of the foregoing, the Court concludes that the applicant may be regarded as no longer wishing to pursue her 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.

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 27 October 2022.
