The European Court of Human Rights (First Section), sitting on 2 July 2026 as a Committee composed of:

Raffaele Sabato , President , Artūrs Kučs, Anna Adamska-Gallant , judges ,

and Viktoriya Maradudina, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,

Having regard to the above application against the Republic of Poland lodged with the Court under Article 34 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (“the Convention”) on 8 December 2021,

Having deliberated, decides as follows:

The applicant, Mr Waldemar Ryszard Raboszuk, was born in 1955.

The applicant was represented by Mr B.D. Bielski, a lawyer practising in Sokołów Podlaski.

The applicant’s complaint under Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 concerning the decrease of the applicant’s pension was communicated to the Polish Government (“the Government”), who submitted observations on the admissibility and merits.

By letter dated 19 November 2025 the applicant was requested to submit until 17 December 2025 his comments as regards the Government’s submissions indicating that the applicant’s grievances had been resolved at the domestic level.

Since no reply had been received, by letter dated 23 January 2026, sent by registered post, the applicant was notified that the period allowed for submission of the information had expired on 17 December 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’s representative received that letter on 5 February 2026. However, no response followed.

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.
