This judgment became binding on 7 August 2002, but was not enforced immediately. 7.  On the command’s requests, the court several times extended the time-limit for the enforcement: from 19 November 2002 to 19 February 2003, from 5 August 2004 to 5 September 2004, from 11 October 2004 to 11 November 2004. 8.  On 15 June 2004 the command offered to the applicant a at in Taganrog, but he refused from it because he wished to receive a at in Rostov-on-Don. 9.  On 31 March 2005 the applicant received a at in Rostov-on-Don.
