In 2001 the applicant instituted civil proceedings in the Kuybyshevskiy Local Court of Donetsk against his former employer, a State-owned mining company, in order to receive salary arrears. 6.  On 23 January 2002 the court found for the applicant and awarded him UAH 5,089.99[1]. This judgment was not appealed against and came into force on 24 February 2002.

By letter of 9 August 2002, the Bailiffs’ Service informed the applicant about the measures taken by the bailiffs to enforce the judgment and the limitations on enforcement proceedings due to the operation of the Law of Ukraine “on the Introduction of a Moratorium on the Forced Sale of Property”. 8.  On 29 October 2003 the Bailiffs’ Service, following the restructuring of the debtor company, replaced the debtor by its legal successor, the Donetskvugillya State-owned Company. The enforcement proceedings were transferred accordingly to another Local Bailiffs’ Service for further actions in November 2003. 9.  On 11 May 2004 the awarded amount was paid to the applicant in full and the enforcement proceedings were completed.
