FACTS AND PROCEDURE

The applicant, Mr Lado Ulumberashvili, was born in 1973.

The applicant’s complaint under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention concerning the excessive length of labour dispute was communicated to the Georgian Government (“the Government”), who submitted observations on the admissibility and merits.

By letter dated 25 July 2025, sent by registered post, the applicant was notified that the period allowed for submission of his observations had expired on 16 July 2025 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 that letter on 8 August 2025. However, no response 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 27 August 2026.
