and Viktoriya Maradudina, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,

Having regard to the above application lodged on 30 April 2019,

FACTS AND PROCEDURE

The applicant, Ms Mihrikan Guner, was born in 1973.

The applicant was represented by Mr T. Kakoullis a lawyer practising in Nicosia.

The applicant’s complaints under Articles 6 and 13 of the Convention concerning the lack of access to a court and the lack of any effective remedy in domestic law, as well as under Article 14 of the Convention and Article 1 of Protocol No. 12, taken together with Article 6 of the Convention, were communicated to the Cypriot Government, who submitted 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 letter dated 7 September 2021, sent to the applicant’s representative through the Court’s Electronic Communications Service (eComms), the applicant was notified that the period allowed for submission of her observations had expired on 29 July 2021 and that no extension of time had been requested. The applicant’s attention was drawn to Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention, which provides that the Court may strike an application out of its list of cases where the circumstances lead to the conclusion that the applicant does not intend to pursue the application.

The letter was downloaded from eComms by the applicant’s representative on 8 September 2021. However, no response has followed.

THE LAW

In the light of the foregoing, and in the absence of any special circumstances regarding respect for the rights guaranteed by the Convention and the Protocols thereto, the Court, in accordance with Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention, considers that it is no longer justified to continue the 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 13 January 2022.
