The Czech Government (“the Government”) were represented by their Agent, Mr V.A. Schorm, from the Ministry of Justice. The applicant complained under Article 6 of the Convention about the length of the civil proceedings to which he has been a party. The above complaint was communicated to the Government with a   proposal for a friendly settlement. The Court’s correspondence concerning the communication of the case to the Government, sent to the applicant on 22 September 2015, was returned to the Court without being delivered. By letter dated 10 November 2015, sent by registered post, the applicant was notified that the period set for acceptance of the friendly settlement proposal had expired on 17 November 2015 and that no reply had been received. 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. On 8 December 2015, this letter was returned to the Court without having been delivered to the applicant. 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.   Done in English and notified in writing on 18 February 2016.
