FACTS AND PROCEDURE

The applicant, PAO Promsvyazbank (“the applicant bank”), is a Russian bank, established in 1995 in Moscow.

The applicant bank was represented by Mr K.N. Koroteev, a lawyer practising in Moscow.

The applicant bank’s complaints under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention concerning lack of access to court and under Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention about loss of control over its business were communicated to the Russian Government (“the Government”) on 23 November 2021.

On 23 December 2021 the applicant bank, represented by its Chairman Mr Petr Fradkov, informed the Registry that it wanted to withdraw the application to the Court and that the powers of Mr Dmitry Ananyev, who had signed the application on the applicant bank’s behalf, had been terminated on 6 September 2018.

THE LAW

In the light of the foregoing, the Court concludes that the applicant bank 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 15 September 2022.
