The case has successfully examined the applicants' applications about the failure to execute court decisions rendered in their favor, or about the delay in their execution, as well as about the lack of effective remedies in connection with these circumstances. The case has violated the requirements of paragraph 1 of Article 6 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.
In 2006, 2008 and 2012, complainants were assisted in preparing applications. Subsequently, the applications were merged and communicated to the Russian Federation.
In their applications, the applicants (three people) complained about the failure to execute court decisions in their favor, or about the delay in their execution, as well as about the lack of effective remedies in connection with these circumstances.
On 18 October 2018, on applications filed by the applicants, the European Court unanimously decided that in the present case the authorities violated the requirements of Article 6 § 1 of the Convention (right to a fair trial), Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention (protection of property), and ordered the respondent State to pay the first applicant EUR 6,000 in respect of non-pecuniary damage. As the other applicants did not submit any claims for compensation, the Court did not award them any amounts under this heading.
