COMPLAINTS<\/strong><\/p>\n1. The applicants complain under Article 6 of the Convention and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 about the lengthy non\u2011enforcement of final court judgments in their favour imposing obligations in kind on State authorities.<\/p>\n
2. The applicants complain in substance under Article 13 of the Convention that the domestic proceedings under the Compensation Act did not provide them with an adequate redress for late enforcement and therefore the remedy was not effective in their cases.<\/p>\n
QUESTIONS TO THE PARTIES<\/strong><\/p>\n1. Have the court judgments in the applicants\u2019 favour in cases nos. 61463\/14, 31103\/16 and 44742\/18 been fully enforced? If so, on which dates?<\/p>\n
2. In respect of all applicants, have there been violations of Article 6 of the Convention and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 on account of the lengthy non\u2011enforcement or delayed enforcement of the final judgments in their favour?<\/p>\n
3. In respect of all applications, having regard to the proceedings instituted by the applicants under the Law no. 68-FZ of 30 April 2010, \u201cOn Compensation for Violation of the Right to a Trial within a Reasonable Time or the Right to Enforcement of a Judgment within a Reasonable Time\u201d (\u201cthe Compensation Act\u201d) as amended by Federal Law No. 450-FZ of 19 December 2016, did the applicants have an effective domestic remedy for the lengthy non\u2011enforcement or delayed enforcement of the final judgments in their favour, as required by Article 13 of the Convention? In respect of application no. 35177\/17 (Burova), and with reference to the proceedings concerning the applicant\u2019s claim for reimbursement of the rent expenses, was the applicant able to obtain appropriate redress of the alleged violation of her rights as a result of the non-enforcement, in those proceedings solely or taken in conjunction with the Compensation Act proceedings (see, mutatis mutandis, Gera de Petri Testaferrata Bonici Ghaxaq v. Malta, no. 26771\/07, \u00a7 53, 5 April 2011, and Apap Bologna v. Malta, no. 46931\/12, \u00a7 43, 30 August 2016, with further references and, in so far as relevant, Ilyushkin and Others v.

The courts calculated the non\u2011enforcement period as of 05\/04\/2017, date of the beginning of the enforcement proceedings, and found that the non-enforcement lasted for 2 years 5 months and 11 days. They considered that the delay was not excessive. The authorities\u2019 actions were \u201csufficient and effective\u201d. They took necessary measures to enforce the judgment but it could not be enforced, as there was no available housing. Further, many similar enforcement proceedings concerning provision of housing to other individuals were pending against the town authorities. During the enforcement period, in April 2016 one offer was made to the applicant but she refused it \u201cfor an objective reason\u201d, as \u201cthere were doubts as to whether the flat was suitable for living\u201d. The bailiffs were not inactive and took steps to enforce the judgment (issued warnings, extended the time-limits for enforcement).<\/td>\n | The applicant\u2019s housing situation<\/p>\n In 2010 the applicant\u2019s housing was declared dilapidated, unsuitable for living.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Enforcement proceedings, details<\/p>\n After delivery of the judgment of 18\/02\/2014 in her favour, on 27\/02\/2014 a writ of execution was sent to the applicant but on 19\/03\/2014 returned to the first\u2011instance court.<\/p>\n On 19\/08\/2014 the applicant received the writ of execution.<\/p>\n On 05\/09\/2014 the enforcement proceedings started.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Claim for damages<\/p>\n The applicant submits that due to the continued non-enforcement she had to loan a flat, as her housing was unsuitable for living. She lodged a court action claiming damages in the amount of RUB 110 000 in total for the period 15\/09\/2014 -15\/08\/2015 in reimbursement of her rent expenses.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kirovskiy District Court of Yaroslavl,<\/p>\n 02\/03\/2016, claims rejected;<\/p>\n Yaroslavl Regional Court,<\/p>\n 16\/06\/2016, the refusal upheld on appeal;<\/p>\n 15\/06\/2016, 1st cassation appeal rejected;<\/p>\n Supreme Court of Russia,<\/p>\n 29\/11\/16, 2nd cassation appeal rejected.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The courts refused to reimburse the loan payments, having found no causal link between the applicant\u2019s rent expenses and the non-enforcement.

During the same period of time the city administration unsuccessfully lodged several applications with the district court seeking to extend the time-limit for enforcement. On 04\/08\/2016 the prosecutor\u2019s office notified the city administration about the violations committed in the context of enforcement of the applicant\u2019s and other similar court decisions.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n\n\n- <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/td>\n

The court found that the failure to execute the judgment deprived him of the possibility \u201cto live in acceptable living conditions\u201d. In total, the applicants were awarded approximately EUR 252 per household. The courts decided that the Compensation Act was applicable only to the period of non-enforcement from 01\/01\/2017 (date of the amendments in the Compensation Act\u2019s entry into force) onwards, and considered that the non\u2011enforcement lasted for 5 months and 22 days.
