5.  The applicants were born in 1938, 1939, 1965 and 1963 respectively and live in Novosemeykino, Samara Region. 6.  The applicants are owners of two vehicles. Following the refusal of the Samara Region State Inspectorate for Road Safety (ОГИБДД по Самарской области) (the “Inspectorate”) to register their property title to the vehicles, in October 2000 the applicants brought judicial proceedings against the Inspectorate. 7.  On 7 May 2003 the Samarskiy District Court of Samara found for the applicants and ordered the Inspectorate to register their title to the vehicles. On 9 June 2003 the Samara Regional Court upheld the judgment on appeal. 8.  On 30 June 2003 the writ of execution was sent to one of the applicants, Mr Yuriy Belyayev, who however did not receive it. On 8 August 2003 the writ was sent to him for the second time, and Mr Yuriy Belyayev received it on 9 August 2003. 9.  On 29 May 2006 the enforcement proceedings were opened at the applicants' request. 10.  On 31 August 2006 the Inspectorate informed the bailiff that it could not register the applicants' title and that the writ of execution should be sent to a special state body responsible for vehicles' registration (Samara Inter‑District Department of Registration and Examination – Межрайонный регистрационно-экзаменационный отдел г. Самары). On the same day the bailiff asked the court to accordingly change the debtor in the enforcement proceedings.  On 20 September 2006 the Samara District Court of Samara granted the request. 11.  On 30 November 2006 the same court, on the bailiff's initiative, ordered the enforcement proceedings to be discontinued. The applicants appealed, claiming that they had not been duly informed about the proceedings, and on 27 August 2007 the Samara Regional Court quashed that decision and remitted the matter for fresh consideration. On 26 September 2007 the Samara District Court rejected the bailiff's request to discontinue the enforcement proceedings. The decision came into force on 10 October 2007. 12.  On 27 June 2008 the applicants' title to one of the vehicles was duly registered. 13.  On 28 June 2008 the applicants informed the bailiff of their decision not to register their title to the second vehicle on the grounds that it had become worthless. 14.  On 24 November 2008 the enforcement proceedings were closed.
