against Georgia
(see appended table)
The European Court of Human Rights (Fourth Section), sitting on 9 April 2026 as a Committee composed of:
 Anne Louise Bormann, President,
 Sebastian Răduleţu,
 András Jakab, judges,
and Viktoriya Maradudina, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,
Having regard to the above application against Georgia lodged with the Court under Article 34 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (“the Convention”) on 9 December 2022,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
FACTS AND PROCEDUREThe applicant, Mr Robert Agajaniani, was born in 1974.
The applicant’s complaints under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention concerning the allegedly excessive length of the criminal proceedings were communicated to the Georgian Government (“the Government”), who submitted observations on the admissibility and merits.
By letter dated 4 April 2024, sent by registered post, the Registry of the Court informed the applicant that notice of the case had been given to the Government and invited him to appoint a legal representative by 16 May 2024. The applicant did not reply.
By letter dated 5 July 2024, sent by registered post, the applicant was reminded to appoint a legal representative by the new time-limit of 16 September 2024. He did not reply.
On 23 October 2024 the applicant was asked to submit, by the time-limit of 3 December 2024, written observations in reply to those of the Government. He was also invited to appoint a legal representative by the same date. The letter returned undelivered.
By letter dated 16 January 2025, sent by email, the applicant was invited to submit, by 9 April 2025, written observations in reply to those of the Government, and to appoint a legal representative. His 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. No response has followed.
THE LAWIn 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 13 May 2026.
