The European Court of Human Rights (Second Section), sitting on 9 April 2026 as a Committee composed of:
 Stéphane Pisani, President,
 Juha Lavapuro,
 Hugh Mercer, judges,
and Viktoriya Maradudina, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,
Having regard to the above application against the Republic of Türkiye lodged with the Court under Article 34 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (“the Convention”) on 2 March 2020,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
FACTS AND PROCEDUREThe applicant, Mr Mecit Acar, was born in 1965.
The applicant’s complaint under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention concerning the alleged unfairness of civil proceedings in a property dispute was communicated to the Turkish Government (“the Government”) on 4 August 2025.
As part of the procedural requirements, the applicant was asked to designate a representative in accordance with the Rules 36 §§ 2 and 4 of the Rules of Court by 17 September 2025. However, no response followed.
By a registered letter dated 4 November 2025, the applicant was notified that the period allowed for the designation of a representative had expired on 17 September 2025 and that no extension of time had been requested. In the same letter, a new time limit was granted to the applicant to designate a representative until 16 December 2025 and 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. The applicant received that letter on 10 November 2025. However, no response 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.
