THIRD SECTION

Application no.
17150/08
by Florin Vasile CRISAN and Lidia CRISAN
against
Romania
The
European Court of Human Rights (Third Section), sitting on
10 May
2011 as a Committee composed of:
Alvina

President,
Luis
López Guerra,
Nona
Tsotsoria,
judges,

Having regard to the above application lodged on 17 March 2008,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
THE FACTS
The applicants, Mr Florin Vasile Crisan and Ms Lidia Crisan, are Romanian nationals who live in Alba Iulia. They are represented before the Court by Mrs E. Savu and Mrs. M. Savu, two lawyers practising in Alba Iulia. The Romanian Government (“the Government”) were represented by their Agent, Mr R.-H. Radu from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The applicants’ complaints under Article 6 of the Convention and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention were communicated to the Government, who submitted their observations on the admissibility and merits. The observations were forwarded to the applicants’ representatives, who were invited to submit observations on behalf of their clients. No reply was received to the Registry’s letter.
By letter dated 4 October 2010, sent by registered post, the applicants’ representative was notified that the period allowed for submission of the their observations had expired on 15 December 2009 and that no extension of time had been requested. The applicants’ representative’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. The applicants’ representatives received this letter on 11 October 2010. However, no response has been received.
THE LAW
The Court considers that, in these circumstances, the applicants may be regarded as no longer wishing to pursue their 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.
