In April 2002 the applicant instituted proceedings in the Tsentralnyy District Court of Simferopil against her employer, the Ministry of Education of the ARC (Міністерство освіти Автономної Республіки Крим), claiming different payments allegedly due to her and compensation for moral damage. On 1 December 2003 the court awarded the applicant 1,184.98[1] Ukrainian hryvnias (“UAH”) (Рішення Центрального районного суду м.Сімферополя) in allowance for the length of service, in health allowance and in compensation for the delays of salary payments. By an additional decision of 1 March 2004, the court rejected the applicant's claim for moral damage. On 22 September 2004 the Court of Appeal of the ARC upheld the judgment of 1 December 2003. The applicant did not appeal in cassation against it. 6.
