Having regard to the above application lodged on 28 October 2017,

FACTS AND PROCEDURE

The applicant, Mrs Serenella Bollante, was born in 1967. She was represented by Mr G. Marino, a lawyer practising in Latina.

The applicant’s complaint under Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention concerning a confiscation measure were communicated to the Italian Government (“the 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 20 June 2024, sent via the Court’s Electronic Communication Service (eComms), the applicant was notified that the period allowed for submission of her observations had expired on 7 June 2024 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 applicant received the letter of 20 June 2024 on the same day. 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 24 October 2024.
