Application no. 702/24
Mariusz Przemysław KRYSZTOFIAK
against Poland

The European Court of Human Rights (First Section), sitting on 24 April 2025 as a Committee composed of:

 Georgios A. Serghides, President,
 Frédéric Krenc,
 Alain Chablais, judges,

and Viktoriya Maradudina, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,

Having regard to the above application lodged on 21 November 2023,

Having deliberated, decides as follows:

FACTS AND PROCEDURE

The applicant, Mr Mariusz Przemysław Krysztofiak, was born in 1984.

The applicant’s complaints under Article 6 § 1 and Article 13 of the Convention concerning the excessive length of criminal proceedings and the lack of any effective remedy in domestic law were communicated to the Polish Government (“the Government”).

The Registry’s letter of 18 July 2024 to the applicant informing him of the communication of the application to the Government was returned by the remand centre in Warsaw with an annotation on the envelope stating that the applicant had been released. The Registry’s following letter of 19 December 2024 regarding the friendly-settlement negotiations between the parties did not elicit any response.

By letter dated 7 February 2025, sent by registered post, the applicant was informed that he had not replied to the Registry’s letters of 18 July and 19 December 2024. 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. On 10 March 2025 the letter came back as unclaimed. The applicant has not to date resumed correspondence with the Court.

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 15 May 2025.
