The European Court of Human Rights (Second Section), sitting on 20 January 2022 as a Committee composed of:

Jovan Ilievski, President, Gilberto Felici, Diana Sârcu, judges,

and Viktoriya Maradudina, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,

Having regard to the above application lodged on 9 March 2016,

Having deliberated, decides as follows:

FACTS AND PROCEDURE

The applicant, Mr Ion Haram, was born in 1993. He was represented by Ms T. Guțu, a lawyer practising in Chisinau.

The applicant’s complaints under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention concerning the alleged abusive quashing of a final judgment as a result of accepting a late appeal were communicated to the Moldovan Government (“the Government”).

On 6 January 2022 the applicant informed the Registry that he wanted to withdraw the application to the Court since the Supreme Court of Justice had reviewed the judgment by which his rights had been breached. Moreover, after the re-opening of the proceedings, he obtained a new final judgment in his favour.

THE LAW

In the light of the foregoing, the Court concludes that the applicant 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 10 February 2022.
