Summary — Order of the General Court (Ninth Chamber, Extended Composition), 15 September 2016 Actions for annulment — Action against acts concerning the adoption of restrictive measures taken in view of the situation in Ukraine — Applicant not represented by a lawyer — Inaction of the applicant — No need to adjudicate (Rules of Procedure of the General Court, Art. 131(2); Council Decision 2014/119/CFSP; Council Regulation No 2015/357) There is no need to adjudicate on an action, in accordance with Article 131(2) of the Rules of Procedure of the General Court, if the applicant ceases to reply to the Court’s requests. That is the case, in the light of the applicant’s inaction, where the latter no longer gives instructions to his representatives, who therefore decide to cease representing him, and also fails to comply with a request from the Court to appoint a new lawyer or to reply to a question from the Court put in the context of a measure of organisation of procedure.
