5.  The applicant was born in 1939 and currently resides in the town of Novogrodovka, Donetsk region, Ukraine. 6.  In 2000 and 2001, respectively, the applicant instituted two sets of proceedings in the Novogrodovskiy Town Court against the Novogrodovskaya Mining Company No. 1/3 - a State-owned enterprise - to recover unpaid compensation for health damage. 7.  On 4 October 2000 the court awarded the applicant UAH 9,999.90[1] in such compensation. 8.  By another judgment of 10 July 2001 the same court awarded the applicant UAH 32,156.50[2] in compensation for health damage. 9.  In October 2001 the applicant instituted proceedings in the Novogrodovskiy Town Court against the Bailiffs’ Service for failure to enforce the judgments in his favour. On 19 December 2001 the court found against the applicant, finding no fault on the part of the bailiff. On 8 April 2002 the Court of Appeal of the Donetsk Region upheld the judgment of the first-instance court. On 6 August 2002 the judge of the Novogrodivskyi Local Court returned the applicant’s appeal in cassation as it had been submitted too late. 10. In February 2003 the Novogrodovskaya Mining Company was reorganised and became a structural subdivision of the Selidovugol Mining Company. As the latter thereby became the debtor, the enforcement proceedings were transferred to the Selidovskiy Town Bailiffs’ Service (Отдел Государственной исполнительной службы Селидовского городского управления юстиции). 11.  The applicant instituted proceedings in the Selidovskiy Town Court of the Donetsk region against the Selidovskiy Town Bailiffs’ Service claiming compensation for material and moral damage caused to him by the non-enforcement of the judgments in his favour. On 27 December 2004 the court found against the applicant. On 11 March 2005 the Court of Appeal of the Donetsk Region upheld the first instance court decision. The applicant appealed against these decisions in cassation. Proceedings are still pending. 12.  The Government informed the Court that the applicant has received UAH 25,779.64; the rest of the debt awarded to the applicant remains unpaid.
