Having regard to the above application lodged on 27 December 2004,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
THE PROCEDURE
The applicant, Mr Robert Zawadzki, is a Polish national who was born in 1969 and lives in Warszawa. The Polish Government (“the Government”) were represented by their Agent, Mr J. Wołąsiewicz of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The applicant complained under Article 6 of the Convention that he had been deprived of access to the Supreme Court.
The applicant’s complaint was communicated to the Government, who subsequently informed the Registry that they accepted the Registrar’s friendly settlement proposal and submitted a signed declaration to that effect. The Government’s declaration was forwarded to the applicant. No reply was received to the Registry’s letter.
By letters dated 3 June 2010 and 11 April 2011, the latter sent by registered post, the applicant’s attention was drawn to Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention, which provides that the Court may strike a case out of its list of cases where the circumstances lead to the conclusion that the applicant does not intend to pursue the application. However, no response has been received.
THE LAW
The Court considers that, in these circumstances, the applicant may be regarded as no longer wishing to pursue his application, within the meaning of 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 its Protocols which require the continued examination of the case.
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.
