4.  The applicant was born in 1963 and lives in the city of Kirovograd, Ukraine. 5.  On an unidentified date the applicant instituted proceedings in the Leninskyy District Court of Kirovograd against his former employer, the State Kirovograd Store No. 72 for military personnel (Кіровоградський воєнторг № 72) claiming salary arrears. On 11 September 1998 the court awarded the applicant 1,834.92[1] Ukrainian hryvnias (UAH). 6.  The Government submitted that on 16 October 2003 the debtor in the applicant's case had transferred the amount awarded by the judgment of 11 September 1998 to the Bailiffs Service's bank account. By letter of 30 January 2004 the applicant was requested to provide information necessary for a bank or postal transfer of this amount from the Bailiffs Service's account to the applicant. Since the applicant failed to provide such information the awarded amount remains unpaid to him. 7.  On 28 October 2001 the applicant instituted administrative proceedings in the Leninskyy District Court against the Bailiffs' Service claiming compensation for the non-enforcement of the judgment in his favour. On 9 November 2001 the court returned the applicant's complaint on the ground that it should have been lodged under the civil procedure. On 21 December 2001 the same court returned the applicant's appeal against the decision of 9 November 2001 for non-compliance with the procedural formalities. 8.  On 31 January 2002 the applicant instituted proceedings in the Leninskyy District Court against his former employer, the Kirovograd Store No. 72 for military personnel, claiming compensation for the loss of earnings caused by the lengthy non-enforcement of the judgment in his favour. On 5 September 2002 the court left the applicant's action without consideration as the parties twice failed to appear in court hearings. According to the applicant, he was informed about this decision only upon his request lodged with the court in December 2003. In February 2004 the applicant appealed against the decision of 5 September 2002. On 2 June 2004 the Kirovograd Regional Court of Appeal quashed this decision and remitted the case for a fresh consideration. On 25 April 2005 the Leninskyy District Court found against the applicant. The applicant submitted that he had learned about this judgment only from the Government's observations submitted to the Court in September 2005. He did not request to renew a time-limit for lodging an appeal against it. 9.  On 15 September 2003 the applicant instituted proceedings in the Leninskyy District Court against the Bailiffs' Service, the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine and the State Treasury claiming compensation for pecuniary and non-pecuniary damage caused by the non-enforcement of the judgment in his favour. On 11 February 2004 the court found against the applicant. On 7 April 2004 the same court returned the applicant's appeal as he had failed to pay the court fee. On 8 July 2004 the Kirovograd Regional Court of Appeal upheld the decision of 7 April 2004. The applicant appealed against these decisions in cassation and proceedings are still pending.
