By a letter dated 14 December 2022, sent by registered post, the applicant’s representative was requested to inform the Court of any important factual developments since his last correspondence with the Court. His 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 applicant’s representative received that letter on 12 January 2023. However, no response has followed.

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.
